Any pointers in the right direction will be much appreciated.How did you get Debian on the new machine? Fresh install? Or just switch the hard drive over? Try the Debian LiveCD and see if the sound works properly If it does, then your problem is probably software or configuration. What sound system are you running ALSA, OSS, Pulseaudio, a combination, etc., etc? Check to see if the correct driver is being used for your sound card/chip. B I moved the two HD's to the new platform. I'm using ALSA. How do I go about checking the sound driver? I'll try the live cd and see what happens, thanks for the suggestion. -- Stephen P.
