Re: Problem getting ALSA working on Dell Inspiron 4150



I had the same problem some days ago...
Solved in this way:
dpkg-reconfigure alsa-utils
chmod -R a+rwx /dev/snd (or other folder, i don't remember, sorry!)
alsaconf

The problem was linked to the permissions on the devices!
I hope you succeed!
