I have a fairly unexceptional Woody installation on which I would like to get sound working. I have no experience with sound software either in Debian GNU/Linux or in Windoze. I have looked at the Sound HOWTO and find the advice too generic to be of help to me. Is there a recommended selection of debian packages that should get my sound working?
My situation is: 1. Sound works with Knoppix running off the Knoppix CD, but 2. when I install Knoppix on HD, it does not work. When I reboot Woody and install various likely looking packages, and reboot 3. I see an error message during boot to the effect that the snd.o module is not found. I have installed the kernel-source package for the kernel that I am using (2.4.18), and can find no mention of a snd.o module in menuconfig. 4. Where do I get snd.o? Or do I really need it? Maybe I have selected sound packages that I really don't need (??). My sound card is a generic that uses CM8738 chip. And, as I say above, sound works under Knoppix. So, I doubt that I have bad hardware. What other info about my situation should I post?
