Hmmm, I guess your best bet is to run /etc/init.d/alsa start However, please note that debian doesn't currently use alsa 0.9.X by default; you probably need to download the package "alsa-source" and compile it. The simplest way to do that in debian is to install one of the kernel-source packages and use make-kpkg. The modules will be compiled and installed (you need to install the new kernel as well!) and the comand above will probably be run automatically at boot time. Hmmmm... don't know if alsa 0.9 is only available in the testing distribution... > - I've connected the soundcard o/p sockets to an amp, but hear nothing when I > run the KDE CD player. The CD player doesn't output audio through the sound card, it manages audio "by itself". Some audio cards have an internal connector that gets the audio from the drive, and that's why you can hear and control the volume of the CD through the sound card; but the m-audio doesn't have such a connector AFAIK. > Is there a simpler way to test the card? Yes, try playing a WAV or MP3 file. > - I don't understand the alsamixer display - what are all those sliders > controlling? Hmmm... all of the card's inputs and outputs. I believe I remember someone pointing out a small bug regarding this. The ice1712 is capable of handling 10 channels of audio, but the audiophile only has 2; in spite of that, alsamixer presents you with controllers for all the 10 channels supported by the chip. Hope this helps, Nelson _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
