Audio issues: What do I delete to make a clean start in alsa?
Background: I'm having major problems with audio - briefly had my headset mic working with Skype, then it stopped. Then audio out stopped too - I have no sound from the speakers as well as from the headset.
I've decided to go back and start from scratch. I uninstalled phonon (and the couple of KDE apps I had installed, that depended on phonon). And I've uninstalled pulseaudio (did that weeks ago as part of getting audio working). The question: Now I want to make a clean start in alsa, as my first step in getting audio working (whether or not I install pulseaudio later). I guess I should uninstall and reinstall - but which config files should I delete [backing up of course]? Anything starting with alsa in /etc/modprobe.d + .asoundrc... anything else? DETAILS: Distro: CrunchBang Statler (basically a respin of Debian Squeeze) Laptop: ASUS A42-F-VX085D Audio: Azalia compliant audio chip, with 3D effect & full duplex with Altec Lansing speakers, SRS Premium Sound. Headset input: a single spot for a plug. Headsets: I have my regular headset with a 2-to-1 plug adaptor, and a USB headset. Thanks! |
Apt-get can remove the configuration files for you. apt-get purge <packagename>.
From the apt-get man page: Quote:
To get those file names, you can simulate package removal and pipe the output to a text file that you can peruse for filenames. apt-get --simulate purge <packagename> | tee rempackage.txt (or whatever you want to name the text file) From the apt-get man page: Quote:
