Re: [tlug] Alsa configuration problems in Debian Sarge



You know you have to unmute the card right?
Run alsamixer and make sure your card is unmuted and turn up the volume
Sorry if i am stating the obvious, but if you are using a 2.6 kernel and
all your modules are loaded then there isn't much else.
The other option is to just install ubuntu and be done with it ;-)
