Re: how to get audio working on ultra 80 w/ debian testing
Hi, I'm not too sure about ultra-80 or debian testing, but on ultra-5 ( with CS4231 ) and woody, sparc-utils has to be installed and /etc/default/audioctl has to correctly set. The CS4231 chip-set is not exactly compatible with the Desktop mixers! I've been using for a few months, a small GUI app I wrote and I've just uploaded it to http://www.acarlab.com/aCL-pub/linux/linux_support.html#SparcAudioCtl Hope it's useful to some and I'd like to know what other Sun-sparcs it works on. Please, also can somwbody tell me what exactly is the purpose of the 'monitor' channel on the CS4231 chip-set. All the gain controls just appear to be in series! - arvind

how to get audio working on ultra 80 w/ debian testing
I can get sound by plugging headphones or speakers into the cdrom drive and some applications send sound out the (admittadly not bad sounding) tower speaker. None of the outputs on the sound card itself seem to work though. How can I get that to work? I'm not sure on sparc, but on x86 I'd be asking these questions: What version of kernel do you have (uname -a)? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ uname -a Linux ai 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 GNU/Linux Which version of Debian did you install (stable, testing, unstable)? testing What's the output of lspci? ai:/etc# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.
