Re: sound not working on console only Wheezy laptop
Hi Julien-
Thanks! Now it is working.
I went to the alsa-project.org and found a page that describes how to
setup alsa for this driver. Even though some of the information there is
old, this is what worked:
"In order to unmute the default speaker jacks do:
amixer set PCM 100 unmute"
Hmm... maybe I misread the alsamixer screen somehow...
But at any rate, sound now working- THANKS again!
