Re: etch audio fails on intel 845ge - resolved

[Ben Collver <collver@peak.org>]

Good day,

On irc channel #debian, I was advised to /msg dpkg alsa-checklist.

*dpkg* rumour has it, alsa-checklist is 1) run alsaconf as root user 2) add
your user to the 'audio' group 3) use alsamixer and make sure levels are up
and it is unmuted 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded?  6)
speakers on? 7) does `cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp` work for root?

Running alsaconf did the trick for me.

I see now that this is documented in
/usr/share/doc/alsa-base/README.Debian.gz

Thanks to <cydork> on irc.debian.org for the help.

Ben
