Sound issues
I few weeks ago, I re-installed debian from scratch (blank partitions apart
from my home directories).
One of the things I did was let debian totally find all my hardware. I have
an SBLive, and it has installed the snd_emu10k1 (and related) modules
automatically.
However, I get no sound at all. I tried running from console mode (ie kdm was
shutdown) as root
music123 file.mp3
that I have, and no sound came out at all.
The "other" operating system that I have installed for games has no problem
with sound - so clearly all hardware, from sound card to speakers, is
working.
Looking at a linux sound howto says I should have /dev/audio - but udev (or
whatever does it in debian) has not set that up. However it has set up a
directory /dev/snd with a number of files in it.
Is that the problem? What steps can I take to help diagnose my problem
further?
