For the most part, sound on my mac mini in debian unstable works well; i can even get sound out of the built-in speaker and plugged-in speakers at the same time (plugged into the headphone jack) which I couldn't do in Macosx. However, I have a couple of issues.
1. Pcspkr doesn't work. Is there any way to get this or is there just no speaker equivalent to the internal speaker on a pc? I wouldn't mind so much except that I'm blind and (1) it helps when backspacing to hear the beep when the whole line is erased, and (20 there's a sound one can hear through the speaker when gdm loads that I can't hear. 2. I can't seem to control my volume except by the pcm control; there seems to be no separate volume control. I can open alsamixer and arrow on the speakers but nothing happens; same on headphones. . I can mute and unmute fine but can only control volume with the one pcm control. this isn't a big problem, but i just want to make sure my setup is correct and that this is how it is supposed to work. The soundcard shown when I open alsamixer is SoundByLayout.
