Slew of questions

I have a lot of questions all are for Debian ETCH

1) I have gotten Youtube to work but I have no sound, I have three modes of sound but really need only two. I have XFX nVidia 680i LT board which I use for speakers and a Logitech USB headset. Neither work.

2) I'm not a fan of GNOME and installed KDE kdm, how do I get it to run in KDE and a few small cosmetics I can find but mainly the KDE desktop.

Thanks.

1. aptitude install alsa-oss - http://planet-geek.com/archives/003048.html
I didn't do the editing they talk about and mine works just fine, so.... Link is there if you need it

No, that didn't work. I'm using Iceweasel which I don't fully understand.

Firefox, Iceweasel same thing, different name.

Did you try logging out of Linux and back in after making the change ? Some users report this is required before it makes any difference.

if aoss doesn't work for you, you could try auto or some of the other option in the Firefox readme..

cat /usr/share/doc/iceweasel/README.Debian

Code:

Sound

-----



By default, iceweasel detects and runs the correct dsp wrapper for esd,

arts, or alsa. If this is not the desired behaviour, edit

/etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc or ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc and set the ICEWEASEL_DSP

variable to:



"auto": The default, auto-detection.



"esddsp": Use esd.



"artsdsp": Use arts.



"aoss": Use alsa.



"none": Don't use any sound wrapper.
