the document "Sound in Debian GNU/Linux"

[PETER EASTHOPE <peasthope@shaw.ca>]

Folk,

This document,
"http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Sound_in_Debian_GNU/Linux#Some_applications_.28OSS_applications.29_produce_no_sound_in_AL";  
in revision 1.2, 27th November 2007 states,
"... Rename the file instead: # mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.obsolete

Now run alsaconf again and everything should work."

Well the system here is the latest lenny with kernel 2.6.24-1-686.
Neither /etc/modprobe.conf nor /etc/modprobe.conf.obsolete
exist in this system.  Still, alsaconf must run each time 
the system is started.  Otherwise the on-board Intel sound 
hardware is not useable.

"Run udevtrigger as user root: # udevtrigger --verbose"

Sorry but udevtrigger is no help!

"This should reload the modules you need. On next reboot, your system will find your soundcard."

No such luck.

"... If this does not work for you, please send a message to the [Debian-User list] with the details. "

Also, the C-Media based Altec Lansing USB audio adapter has 
not worked for at least a month.  Sound is a disaster area.

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
