Sound problems - newbie
I am new to Linux and Debian and have really no idea how to
troubleshoot things yet. I had a local Debian guru help me install
Debian (on the 11th), but I'm having difficulties with my sound. Below
is the error message that I get:
Sound server informational message.
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such device)
The sound server will continue using the null output device.
Here's my sound card info:
Crystal Semiconductor
Chip set CS4236
I have been following some threads and have run the following commands
with the following results. I don't know exactly how to read the
results I've gotten or what to do next. Thanks in advance for any
gentle guidance you can give me :)
