-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list,
I've just installed debian on my home machine (btw: gentoo worked on my test machine). Everything is working well, but I'm getting weird sound problems: 1) Playing a video file / sound file works well 2) Trying to adjust the volume, either in KDE or GNOME tells me that no mixer elements and/or devices found 3) When I start ESD (gnome's sound thingy) I get an intermittent startic..nostatic...static..nostatic etc... until I play a sound (which is obviously very low since I can't set the volume. When I do lspci, my sound card is detected: 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) lsmod shows what I think is a problem: Module Size Used by snd_via82xx 30820 0 The sound module isn't being used by anything. I installed ALSA and ran the configuration tool, it detected my soundcard and supposedly configured it, but when it tries to start sound and adjust volumes, the following error is displayed: Error: alsactl restore failed with message 'alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found...' A similar error is displayed when it tries to adjust the volume. I'm stumped... it uses the sound card, it detects it but it can't configure it... boq! I had mandrake installed on this machine and the soundcard worked perfectly...
