debian-alsa bug?
Hi
i'm trying to use alsa (alsa - alsa-base package) as my sound driver on
a Dell Inspiron 8600, but nothing works. I've even compiled a new kernel
2.6.9, hoping that it would mysteriously fix the bug. When i run
alsaconf it seems to be just fine, but i don't get any sound from any
sound applications. And if I run /etc/init.d/alsa start, then it says it
can't find any sound cards. (below is all the detail)
anyone have a clue what i could do to fix the problem?
cheers
Wendy
