Re: Install ALSA on new Unstable install for GNOME 2?
I took a new tack, and tried an alsa installation. I'm running the stock
2.4.22 kitchen-sink kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686, and in downloaded
alsa-base, alsa-utils-0.5, and alsa-modules-2.4.22-1-686. The debconf
appeared to go fine (I picked the Intel 8x0 audio), and lspci and
lsmod report:

Now, in gnome2, the speaker icon in the upper right-hand corner is no
longer muted. I also installed alsa-mixer (and I made myself a member of
the audio group, and I logged out/in). But I can't get any audio to play
audibly via the sound control panel in gnome . . . .
I'm stumped. Any and all additional help is welcome . . .
TIA
