Configuring AC97 sound
How do I activate sound so I can play music files in KDE using XMMS?
I did a basic install of Debian 3.0 Woody, and after successfully
configuring web server type stuff, decided to see how to get a desktop
environment up and running out of curiosity. So I installed
x-window-system, kde, kdm and xmms and receive a sound card error
"device /dev/dsp" can't be opened on starting up kde.
(By the way, can XMMS play .ogg by default? MP3?)
lspci says my Dell GX200 has an Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio device.
I tried disabling aRTs in KDE's control panel, installing/runnning
sndconfig & alsaconf all to no avail.
Various Google searches suggest installing modules ac97_codec.o, sound
and soundcore, but I have no idea where to find these or how to install
these (they do not seem to be on the first Debian Woody CD and not in
apt-get).
Can anyone advise? My Debian experience has been great so far, and I am
sure it's my inexperience that is tripping me up!
Thanks in advance!
Lynn
