I have a thinkpad, I’ve gotten Debian almost perfectly going on it. I, however, am continually frustrated by the sound systems
in Linux. Right now my sound situation is that it works with my 2.6.10 kernel
(which has a clock bug in it, so that’s not great) but doesn’t work
at all with my 2.6.11 kernel I’ve tried this list, to no avail. Even in 2.6.10, I can’t get sound to work with wine.
The wine people had all sorts of helpful advice, but nothing worked out. So… google, the applicable
lists, and IRC just aren’t working for me. Now what? I live in Chicago, so I’m hoping geography
won’t limit me… but where do I go if I decide I’m willing to
pay for someone to just do it? Is there a network of computer professionals
that can help with this sort of thing, specifically in Debian? All my coworkers/friends are no help because, like me, their
usage of linux is mostly for servers or to get real
work done, so the sound system rarely means that much to anyone. And a minimal
amount of thinking about where to go for assistance makes me think of either
for pay services that will probably fidget a lot when they don’t see a
windows login, and a bunch of linux consultants who
mostly tune databases and setup firewalls and the like. Curious, thanks. |
