hallo all,

after installing bebian, i got no sound on my laptop. Thanks to googling, the following scenario was found and works as root.

1.) apt-get install esound-clients
2.) mv /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /root <-- i did that because i felt that this file disturbed me from getting sound out of my tecra 8000. if denyerecs way is better, than pls tell me.
3.) vi /etc/modprobe.d/tecra_sound
# ALSA Configuration.
alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2

# some stuff for the OSS drivers
alias char-major-14 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# aliases for sound card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
4.) vi /etc/modules
snd-opl3sa2 dma1=1 dma2=0 fm_port=0x388 irq=5 isapnp=0 midi_port=0x330
port=0x538 sb_port=0x220 wss_port=0x530 <--- its one long row!
5.) apt-get install libesd-alsa0

However when I enter the box as a user, the notebook becomes mute. Why does this configuration only work for root, since the configuration files in /etc apply to all the users?

Thanks in advance.
