Hi, I bought a laptop, the sound was recognised automatically on fedora 8, the problem is with debian.
the output from alsaplayer:
Code:
sycamorex@debian:~$ alsaplayer heat.mp3
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
snd_pcm_open: Device or resource busy (default)
Failed to initialize plugin!
Failed to register plugin: /usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so
Failed to load output plugin "alsa". Trying defaults.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:866:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
snd_pcm_open: Device or resource busy (default)
Failed to initialize plugin!
/usr/lib/alsaplayer/output/libalsa_out.so failed to load
NOTE: THIS IS THE NULL PLUGIN. YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND!!
It works fine with kernel 2.6.23.9 and the latest alsa compiled with intel-snd.
The problem is that it works perfectly with xmms and mplayer, but with audacious and gxine you can hear the sound for 1-2 seconds and then it gets quiet.
Obviously I could use mplayer and xmms, but out of curiosity, why is that?

That is great news!

Look at the output of dmesg and look at "/var/log/messages" and "/var/log/debug" to see if there is any information about the problem. Also check if there are any ALSA specific logs in "/var/log".
