Are you using the alsa packages that come with Debian or are
you using the stock packages? I'd like to try the stock ones
to use a card from Trident (it's Trident 4DX something) and
the only kernel releases that come with drivers for it are
those from the 2.3 series... :-(

I wouldn't like to use these 2.3 kernels but as I understand I
can't use the Debian ALSA packages/modules if I compile my own
kernel (can I)?

BTW, what are people's opinions on this card? I've tried using
it with 2.3.99-pre9 and its sound was terrible: *VERY* low and
if I raised it a little bit, the sound was totally distorted,
with the effect similar to clipping of samples. Is the sound
level of this card that low and do I need an amplifier? I
don't have the manuals of the card (only the card). :-(

Anyway, I thought that that was very strange and was hoping
that the ALSA drivers could be better.


[]s, Roger...

No, you can use the debian packages with kernel 2.2.xx, but you should
take the ones from woody. You may need to compile them from the source
(with dpkg-buildpackage). As for the modules, you just install the deb
package alsa-source and when you have built and installed a kernel on
your own (with make-kpkg) you just run make-kpkg modules_image to
compile the matching alsa-modules.
(Read /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/debian/README)
