I don't get any sound out of the system at all. Running one of the

Yeah. That should give you some white noise. Any chance you
didn't unmute
the appropriate channels and turn up their volume (see alsamixer --
'm'
unmutes and the up arrow turns up the volumes)?
Right, this time I remembered to adjust the volumes. Still no
sound. This is running on the XP1000.
Does the driver load okay, what does it claims you card is (mine is
supposedly
an ES1888), and if the mixer program work?
The driver reports nothing. No messages appear in syslog other than
udev messages about the making of appropriate device nodes. Should I
get a message about hardware at that point? Interestingly, alsamixer
lists the sound card as an ESS Audiodrive ES1887, which is correct.
I just tried the alpha-alsa.patch mentioned earlier in this thread
but it
makes no difference.
Well that does work for me.
No, definitely doesn't do anything for me. I am pretty sure that I
am getting the patched module loaded this time.
However, just to be sure there hasn't been some fluke kernel
version thing or
something, could you please try the linux-image that works on my
box (it's
the stock Debian 2.6.14 kernel with the only difference being the
addition of
the alsa patch)
Sorry, but can't get that to work. The dpkg program reports that
packages yaird, initramfs and initramfs-tools are not available and
thus can't configure it. Trying to install these packages with apt-
get fails, and when I searched directly on the debian package website
I couldn't find them. Presumably these make an initrd image?
