Hello together, today I was trying to set up ALSA on my Debian testing. Since I have this shitty Onboard Soundchip AC97 I need to use at least ALSA 0.5, because the chip is not supported by earlier versions.
I know that it works together with my card just fine, since I had a SuSE some time ago and there, the card was autodetected by alsaconf. Bad luck I completely threw away SuSE, the config files would have helped me a lot. :-( On Debian, alsaconf just offers me a list of drivers and I don't know which one to select. And it's getting worse: starting up alsaconf, I get the message ,---- | Modprobe: Can't locate module: snd | cat /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory | expr: Syntax error `---- then it starts up anyway. Am I missing any packages or kernelmodules? I've got alsa-base 0.5, alsa-utils 0.5 and alsaconf 0.4.3 installed. Is anybody running this card successfully and can give me a hint how to set it up? I made even another mistake: For some reason (don't ask me why), I deleted the alsa-ip-up-script from /etc/init.d/. It seems to be in alsa-base. Can anyone tell me how to extract a single file from a *.deb? Thanks a lot, Henrik -- GnuPG-Key now available on public keyservers - http://www.gnupg.org/
