Hi Debian! I spoke to soon, saying that the migration to alsa was a piece of cake. I have all sound, but no cd audio. I did have that with oss. The cd slider does not show up in aumix nor alsamixer. I googled for a clue. libcdaudio is installed of course. Anybody give me a hint? To install alsa: 1. I enabled alsa and the card in the kernel but without modules. 2. I installed alsa-base. That gave me sound. I forgot to test the cd, until today. Hugo
