Sound is usually configured using alsa:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
alsaconf

The alsaconf program will try to detect your sound card and load the correct module for it.

Not sure about the scanner. You might try installing sane:

Code:

apt-get install sane

or searching for other scanner software:

Code:

apt-cache search scanner

This also works for a realplayer problem that I have had for the past few days.

Realplayer was the only media player not working, there was no sound coming out even though all seemed fine. This meant that I had no BBC!

Hope this will help some others.

Yipeee, Mornington Crescent, here I come!
