sound driver problem

shdhnd · 07-28-2004, 01:26 AM

Hello everybody! I've installed Debian 3.0r2 and made a update to testing. Now I am using kernel 2.4.26-i686 and there is no sound driver. The gnome applet returns an error that could not open "/dev/sound/mixer". I've tried and 2.6.6-i386 and 2.6.7-i686, but no changes. The sound driver is included in al lthe kernels. For last I tried to chmod the /dev/sound/mixer and the result was that there is no /dev/sound/ direcory!

When I tried with alsa it failure with this output:

Code:

#modconf

choose kernel/drivers/sound

choose whatever you need, install it, reboot

install sndconfig, run it, follow instructions

add yourself to the audio group with 'adduser'

install 'aumix' and calibrate volume, that's it.

For kernel 2.6, follow these instructions:
