Sound - none happening.......
Hello,
Always had trouble getting sound to work with Debian, never had it
working with Squeeze, though I might see if I could get it going again:
Acer 3614WLCi laptop
$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation
82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
I see a bug on the net against the hardware above on Ubuntu? It is said
it can be worked around with alsa-lib, but not how that might be done.
$ lsmod | grep snd

The following doesn't work:
# udevtrigger --verbose --subsystem-match=sound
-su: udevtrigger: command not found
My: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf
Is like this:
# Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem drivers
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-intel8x0m
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
# Comment this entry in order to load snd-pcsp driver
# blacklist snd-pcsp
# Comment this entry in order to load pcspkr driver
Possibly someone could point me further, or see what I'm missing. I've
been without any sound so long, I don't really miss it, but it would
just be nice to have my Squeeze system working as it should.
TIA
Charlie
