Subject: Sound Problem
64 bit Debian Wheezy/Testing. I had to reinstall the OS duer to a HD
failure. Sound worked prior to that.
computation@abnormal:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Solo1 [ESS ES1938 (Solo-1)], device 0: es-1938-1946 [ESS Solo-1]
Subdevices: 2/2
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

When I run speaker-test I get the following:
computation@abnormal:~$ sudo speaker-test
[sudo] password for computation:
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 32 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 16384
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front
Left Write error: -5,Input/output
error xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output
error Transfer failed: Operation not permitted
I would appreciate a pointer to the solution.
Thanks in advance.

I followed the steps found in:
http://stray-notes.blogspot.com/2010/08/alsa-sound-setup-debian.html
Here are the results of the testing.
root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
root@abnormal:/home/computation# cat /dev/sndstat
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.24 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux abnormal 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64
Config options: 0
Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation
Card config:
ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) rev 0, irq 17
USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:00:02.1-3, high speed
Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices:
0: ESS ES1938 (Solo-1) MIDI
Timers:
31: system timer
Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
At this point in the URL the instructions say to open alsmixer and play
with the settings. Alsmixer found the soundcard and all of the
functions keys worked .I attempted to do this, but alsamixer was
nonresponsive, For instance 'M' did not unmute the master
Going on with the testing.

lspci: invalid option -- '0'
Usage: lspci [<switches>]
Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an
obsolete format) -t Show bus tree
Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv for very verbose)
-k Show kernel drivers handling each device
-x Show hex-dump of the standard part of the config space
-xxx Show hex-dump of the whole config space (dangerous;
root only) -xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byte extended
config space (root only) -b Bus-centric view (addresses
and IRQ's as seen by the bus) -D Always show domain numbers
Resolving of device ID's to names:
-n Show numeric ID's
-nn Show both textual and numeric ID's (names & numbers)
-q Query the PCI ID database for unknown ID's via DNS
-qq As above, but re-query locally cached entries
-Q Query the PCI ID database for all ID's via DNS
Selection of devices:
-s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] Show only devices in
selected slots -d [<vendor>]:[<device>] Show
only devices with specified ID's
Other options:
-i <file> Use specified ID database instead
of /usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz -p <file> Look up kernel modules in
a given file instead of default modules.pcimap -M Enable
`bus mapping' mode (dangerous; root only)
PCI access options:
-A <method> Use the specified PCI access method (see `-A help' for
a list) -O <par>=<val> Set PCI access parameter (see `-O help' for a
list) -G Enable PCI access debugging
-H <mode> Use direct hardware access (<mode> = 1 or 2)
-F <file> Read PCI configuration dump from a given file

I didn't bother testing the default sound card (Step 6) as I know that
it works. At least, it used to.
