Hi All, I haven't been wollowing in depths of sound hell. Instead, I had a dig around under my table and knocked together a P133MHz, 128MB ram, 2.5GB HDD 24x CD-Rom CRAPPER! I belted Debian onto, # out the security updates and set about manually installing blackbox, KDE, and alsa... (pronouced ULCER, no doubt!).
The sound card in the crapper is a CM8330 ISA card, it's on the supported list at ALSA website. I ran the following command. apt-get install alsa-base I then did as David suggested and reverted to 'sndconfig' which ran, but also generated errors... I think I have narrowed the problem down.... there are no sound modules configured on either the CRAPPER or my PC. The other thing is that I've been given alsa alsa-modules-2.4.20-i386, but I'm running the 2.2.2o kernel and it has .... you guessed it, umet dep probs. What version of alsa should I try instead, remebering that alsa base is "the newest" according to my apt-getting.
