After a short testing run of SuSE, I have decided to come back to
Debian (it is much faster and customizeable)
But for some reason my sound will not work.
I boot using linux26 to install, and everything goes smothely. I go
into gnome, and I attempt to adjust the volume, but there according to
the gnome-mixer there is no sound card. So I run lsmod and get the
following:

As you can see, the kernel has loaded modules for soundcore, sound and
both my Creative SB Live LS and my onboard Via audio chip. So I tried
installing alsa, even though it was apparent it was built into the
kernel, and get this:
apt-get install alsa
[no errors]
alsaconf
[detects and configures card correctly]
then after exiting alsaconf I get this
Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Restoring ALSA mixer settings ... failed:
You may want to run 'alsactl restore' manually to view any errors.
Setting default volumes...
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...
ok, so I run alsactl restore and get this:
alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found...
So that is where I am now. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan Waye
