Dan, According to "lsmod" the "utadem" kernel module is loaded. So it can't be the module. But the other packages that you mentioned .... can you please check via Synaptic's history (Ubuntu has such functions, so I assume Debian has that too?) or via your command line history which packages precisely you installed so I could try and reproduce the same on CentOS / RHEL?
Thank you + best regards, DJM. On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 5:33 PM, Dan Allongo <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm on Debian Lenny, but I didn't have sound out of the box either.
