Hi: Fellow 64 bit users! This is some what of a post for posterity, or those who are having problems with alsa sound on amd64. I filed this bug report Bug#383054 on libasound2 which solves my problem.
For all those AV710 Users out their who are having problems getting sound to work with Debian/Etch you might want to upgrade to libasound2-dev, this solved my mixer not found problem, and allowed me to listen to sound. I would also like to mention that I would advise you to make a ~.asoundrc file and follow some of the suggestions on this page. http://alsa.opensrc.org/ice1724 After a little copy and paste I was able to get sound working with the wolfson dac, it sounds great. I only have a 2.1 sound system. So I have not tested every channel, but I must say this works well. My speakers are a cheap creative set, this sounds great with music a little fine tuning might be in order. Gnu_Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
