Installed sarge from with the debian.installer pre-rc2 netinst CD. Used the official weekly binary snapshot from 20040925 for the rest.
I selected Slovene keyboard, "GNOME destop" package and mostly accepted the default settings.
I log into the destop ( X11 / GNOME ) and ...
No sound !
No devices detected etc ... mixer does not work...
Hardware is VIA 82cxxxx ( works since ages under linux )
The mixer (volume control) in the upper right corner does not work.
The preferences/advanced/multimedia applet fails for testing. ( when pressing the test button it shows an error dialog ) The only choice in this dialog is ALSA.
lsmod suggests that the OSS modules are loaded.
I remember seeing OSS ( and esound and artsd ) as options in the mentioned preferences applet in a previous installation of sarge ( using different options, settings, packages ..., but same versions, except kernel was 2.6.x )
What kernel series are you using? If you want to use alsa, you have to add some skip statements to /etc/discover.conf so that discover doesn't load the oss drivers before the alsa drivers get loaded.
