debian/gnome and cmi8738 - no sound! :(
hello alltogether!! i've got debian 3.0r1 on unstable (via dist-upgrade)
and gnome 2.2 installed. my soundcard has a cmi8738 chip on it, but i
just can't get it to work :((
the kernel modules cmpci, sound and soundcore are active (modconf), and
i have added my user ("alex") to the group "audio", still no sound in
gnome, although the error message after starting gnome doesn't appear
anymore (it had something to with /dev/mixer (or so) btw). also, the
volume control at the top right is also adjustable now...but NO sound i
have also checked the 2 checkboxes in the sound preferences, but still
no sound... i have tried to doubleclick .wav files in gnome directly ->
no sound, not even a program was opened, the event sounds in the sound
preferences also do no work. what can i do?? what am i doing wrong?
thx in advance
