I'm still baffled by this. If ‘snd-powermac’ would work on this machine, why is that not the module that gets loaded? I have installed other Apple machines where sound is not working; they are not models listed as working with ‘snd-aoa’, so I can only assume ‘snd-powermac’ is also correct for those machines. I don't have access to the specific machines right now to check, but my question now is more general: What needs to be done so the Debian-supplied kernel will automatically *detect* which audio drivers are required, and load the modules at boot time? Perhaps I'm coddled by working with x86 hardware, but I would hope the era of manually fiddling with ‘/etc/modules.conf’ (or other manual dicking around to tell the kernel what hardware is in the system) would be long gone, especially for such common hardware as audio chipsets in Apple machines. -- \ “Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends.” —Henry | `\ L.
