Re: Sound card not working



Mike,

We both have the same kind of sound card. Things to do if those haven't yet been done. Understand first Debian is a light traveling operating system; what packages you didn't download beyond a basic set will not be on your system. Contrast that with say slackware where all packages slackware has to offer get put on your system. You'll find that a light traveling operating system buys you security advantages since packages you didn't ask for are not on your system so don't have to be secured. To fix the sound card situation try aptitude install alsa -r as a command and that will install a few packages. Once that's done reboot and do the command alsaconf and when you get asked which card to configure the first choice ens 1371 will be the one you want. So just hit return there and choose yes to have a couple files modified. When alsaconf gets finished the sound card will be working.
