Re: fresh install of squeeze cannot compile alsa
i agree I suspect that the problem is the libao4 too. when I used rhythmbox i have no problem. I found that I could hear perfectly the lecture I wanted to hear. Maybe it was compiled with the wrong settings?

Re: fresh install of squeeze cannot compile alsa
I don't know what hardware you're using, but on my g3 ibook, I've always had to run the 'alsaconf' command and then 'alsactrl restore' and then the sound just magically worked. However, with the release of squeeze, alsaconf is missing. I don't know why: http://www.google.com/search?q=alsaconf+squeezeie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=trls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficialclient=iceweasel-a What I did was to edit my /etc/sources.list to change all the lines back to lenny. I did an apt-get remove alsa-utils alsa-base alsa-tools apt-get update apt-get clean apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-base alsa-tools alsaconf alsactrl restore and voila! working sound. I then put my /etc/sources.list back how I found it, did an apt-get update, and everything is running great. I don't know if that will work on your hardware, and I'll be interested in entertaining suggestions that I broke something that I don't know about. But so far, so good.

Re: fresh install of squeeze cannot compile alsa
my machine is a g4 ibook 2004. your trick worked. i do have good sound now. however i am not really sure what is going on. because now i have noticed that the problem was probably mpg321 which plays gibberish still. rhythmbox and yauap worked fine. i just think that the mpg321 is messed up. however i am now able to upgrade to lenny and sid and sound works, just not wieth mpg321 i use yauap instead. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
