sid upgrade: sound problem


Hi,

I recently installed a debian base system using a woody CD then did a dist-upgrade and installed X windows and KDE. Everything is working properly apart from the sound. The modules seem fine,

Module Size Used by Not tainted
nls_cp437 4384 2 (autoclean)
ppp_synctty 4960 1 (autoclean)
ppp_generic 18696 3 (autoclean) [ppp_synctty]
slhc 4432 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic]
n_hdlc 5984 1
via82cxxx_audio 18144 1
soundcore 3204 2 [via82cxxx_audio]
ac97_codec 9568 0 [via82cxxx_audio]
ac97 2864 0 (unused)
keybdev 1664 0 (unused)
usbkbd 2848 0 (unused)
input 3040 0 [keybdev usbkbd]
usb-uhci 20676 0 (unused)
usbcore 48000 1 [usbkbd usb-uhci]

and both root and the normal user are in the audio group. I've checked the permissions of /dev/dsp and they seem ok..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 9 Jan 16 22:33 /dev/dsp -> /dev/dsp0
crwxrwxrwx 1 root audio 14, 3 Jan 16 22:33 /dev/dsp0

I've checked the volume with aumix and thats not the problem. Also when I run artsd manually there are no error messages or complaints about missing libraries. sndconfig identifies my card correctly but hangs when it attempts to play the test sound..

I cant think of anything else to check .

If someone could give me a bit of help on this one it'd be much appreciated.

Are you a member of the audio group to check in a console window use the groups command.
Code:
04:09 PM Sat Jan 17: stephen @ ~]
>$ groups
stephen adm lp dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video
If not logut and go to the console become root and use the command adduser user_name audio then log back in and try. You will most likely want to be a member of the video, cdrom, floppy and if you ever want to compile a kernel the src groups as well.
