I have installed Debian with X enviroment, web server, file server, and the sort. It installed very nicely, and was easy to set up with no errors.
I boot, log in with GNOME, wanted to test a music file, and that's where the madness begins.
The sound is very choppy, and it is not possible to hear anything, exept very choppy sound.
I have not recieved any errors what so ever, and the system sounds play nicely (log in, notifications, etc.). I also tried watching a flash movie. The movie worked fine, but the sound was the same.
check the volume control and make sure that the pcm control is no more then 3/4 of the way up , any more on mine and the sound goes really crackly and things.
Ok, it says that i have no PnP or PCI card available. Then it asks me if I want to probe legacy ICA sound cards/chips, but it will make my system unstable... would this be a problem?
Ok, i tried upgrading my kernel to 2.6 and installing ALSA. now when i play my sound I get a long deep tune, like the horn on a freighter. How can I fix this?
