Hello, I installed Debian Etch but have no sound at all.Previous Fedora installation gave sounds so probably my Etch is missing some setup.Drivers looks correctly installed as 'lsmod' shows following drivers : .. snd_hda_intel 17332 3 snd_hda_codec 137856 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 38368 0 snd_mixer_oss 15200 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 68676 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 20996 2 snd_pcm .. Is there tool (ie. like system-config-sound) to setup and check sound setup ? Thanks for any help. Bye, Bruno
hi bruno, beside all the good advice you received:in my experience hda-intel gives problems when i use the built-in kernel-modules in the 2.6.18 kernels and their predecessors.
their are several ways to circumvent this problem (see the archive of this list).
i chose a rather radical way. i got the alsa-driver, alsa-libs and alsa-utils from the alsa website; compiled them in /usr/src/alsa and (the libs and utils) in my home-directory and installed them. i started installing the driver doing as root : #./configure --with-cards=hda-intel. since that time (rather long ago) my onboard nvidia sound chip hda-intel works perfect.
