I am a newbie to debian, but have been running linux for several years. I have just installed sid on my vaio r505 and cannot get alsa to work. I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.4 per the instructions in Debian Reference chapter 7 with help from
http://www.geocities.com/torus2000/linux_on_PCG-R505GL.html (I barely modified his .config). Here is output from various commands: laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# grep SOUND .config | grep -v ^# CONFIG_SOUND_GAMEPORT=y CONFIG_SOUND=y laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# grep SND .config | grep -v ^# CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y I have installed alsa-base, alsa-utils, and alsa-source. Alsa is running. laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# lsmod Module Size Used by sr_mod 16292 0 sbp2 24712 0 ntfs 101996 0 msdos 11008 0 sg 34720 0 ide_scsi 15492 0 raw1394 38636 0 hid 25408 0 ohci1394 42244 0 i810 70188 0 usbkbd 7552 0 laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# modprobe i810_audio FATAL: Module i810_audio not found. laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# locate i810_audio /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4/sound/oss/i810_audio.c laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# laptop:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.4# grep i810 /var/log/messages Mar 22 07:45:40 laptop kernel: [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel i810 @ 0xe8000000 128MB Mar 22 07:45:40 laptop kernel: [drm] Initialized i810 1.1.0 20010616 on minor 0 Mar 22 07:45:40 laptop kernel: i810: Intel ICH3 found at IO 0x18c0 and 0x1c00, IRQ 9 Mar 22 07:45:40 laptop kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.Mar 22 07:45:40 laptop kernel: i810_audio: only 48Khz playback available.
