Hello folks, I've now got sound also with 2.6.11.8 also. Very happy :)I'm the one who didn't have /dev/dsp. So I recompiled the kernel with Javier-Elias's config and /dev/dsp appeared. Kudos Javier! Good thing (only now my USB mouse doesn't work, but that's a different story)
Still got 2 issues though:When I boot my laptop, esd seems to use /dev/dsp - the music player can't play because of this. The sound server reports something like it: "The sound device is busy.." So when I *fuser /dev/dsp* and kill the PID - it plays! But I have to do this everytime I boot. Is there a way to get rid of this problem?
My gnome-alsamixer settings keep changing back to default when I boot/reboot, so I also have to reset these everytime. Anyone?
Thanks till so far for the solutions brought up though :) Christian C. Javier-Elias Vasquez-Vivas wrote:

I had my own compiled linux-2.6.10 working well for quite a while, but I needed to recompile the kernel, so I decided to go for linux-2.6.11.8. As usual its compilation was not a problem, and reboot is smooth... Problems is that when openning xmms and trying to listen anything with sound card, nothing shows up, just silence...nearly the same here. I am running debian unstable on an IBM R50P. I decided to use 2.6.11.7 and there was silence. A few days later I tried 2.6.11.8 and everything was OK again. I was not able to track down the error. The system "thinks" to play the sound (according to the analyzer in xmms) so it seemes to be a problem with the mixer. Some digging in the dark: Perhaps it has something to do with the kernel-version and the alsa-version in unstable - did you try an upgrate? Another guess is kernel-version versus gcc-version - again: try upgrade and then rebuild the kernel. Greetz, AndreHave you looked here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=297343 they propose following solution: .. you just need to mute the two jack sense mixers switches... ... PS, I closed the bug as it was solved (and anyway not Debian-related).... - -- Key-ID: 0x1A995A9B keyserver: pgp.mit.edu ============================================================== Fingerprint: 4606 DA19 EC2E 9A0B 0157 C81B DA07 CF63 1A99 5A9B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCfxjI2gfPYxqZWpsRAo92AJ9aNBb/irijGDqrENL4nhDcjcFuwgCeNEqP aYm9vZ96bI+/ULniFBtmwdA= =54lp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
