Sorry for the delay in replying. I booted up Sarge to see how I had the sound
set up, and got distracted.
Your lsmod looks ok, but I see on my Sarge install I have 2 OSS modules
in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Some older kernels still had the OSS modules
"audio" , and "usb_midi" in them, and it was necessary to blacklist them to
prevent them being loaded. If you run.
cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat you should see 2 lines saying something like.
Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation
If there are no such lines, OSS is being used.
Also run lsmod to see if "audio" , and "usb_midi" are on the list. If they
are, su to root on the CLI, and with a text editor add both those modules on
separate lines to /etc/hotplug/blacklist without the quotes.
I must say I'm a bit short on ideas when it comes to laptops, as many of them
have really cheapo soundcards, and some of which just don't seem to want to
work on Linux.
Anyway have a look for those 2 OSS modules. At least will eliminate something
else.
Nigel.
