 As  root run 'alsaconf' and follow the prompts. See if that helps.
No good at all, now even KDE's startup tunes don't work anymore
and /dev/audio ist gone :-(

Sound problem

2010-01-08 Thread Peter Ulrich Kruppa

Hello list,

(I am not to experienced with debian - I hope I didn' overlook 
some FAQ.)


I just installed debian-5.0 with kde-5.3 on an old Laptop (Medion 
MD 5222). Everything works fine so far, but I have problems with 
the sound device.


This is the output of   # cat /dev/sndstat

Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.16 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux x  2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Nov 4 20:45:37 UTC 
2009 i686

Config options: 0

Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation

Card config:
VIA 82C686A/B rev50 with AD1886 at 0x1000, irq 5

Audio devices:
0: VIA 82C686A/B rev50 (DUPLEX)

Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

Timers:
7: system timer

Mixers:
0: Analog Devices AD1886
-

I can 	# cat some_file /dev/audio	and kde will play some 
little tune when started.
But it seems neither kde's CD-player nor its mulimedia-player can 
produce any sound.


What's wrong here?

Thanks for your help.

Uli.
