Re: Soundproblems: SOLVED

[Daniel Klein <bringa@gmx.at>]

Hey,

this mostly to Justin, but probably to others as well who might be 
interested in helping me solve the mystery of HOW I solved my problem.

Justin's hint to actually use alsamixer for more than finding out the 
version of my alsa sent me on the right way. Scrolling all the way to 
the right in my alsamixer I found two tabs that I've not seen before in 
either WinXP or SuSE 7.2: ADC and DAC.

Now after exchanging a few mails with Justin, I know that ADC means 
analog to digital and DAC the inverse. The mystery now is: Why did my 
fresh install have the left channel set to zero in both ADC and DAC?

I'm pretty much out of this discussion, unless more information from me 
is needed to pinpoint the reason for the zero'ed left channel, as the 
problem for me is solved and I can go back to being a happy, happy 
debian user. I'm sure there's someone out there though who'll be 
interested in getting to the bottom of this. If not, fine too :)

Daniel
