Re: Re: ALSA Problem
OP accidentally sent his reply to my email address instead of the list
(probably the old problem of missing "reply-to-list" feature in many
email clients). I copy the relevant part below so that everyone can
follow the discussion.

It is probably easy to fix this, but we need to know which audio device
you have. If you are unsure about this, find the audio-related line in
the output of the command "lspci".
The following is the output from "lspci":
[...]
0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP150 AC'97
Audio Controller
This controller should be supported by the snd-atiixp module. Try to
load the module (as root) with
modprobe snd-atiixp
If that works you can check if /dev/dsp was created. If not you can try
udevstart
invoke-rc.d alsa reload
invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart
and see if that helps. If you are not successful you should post the
error messages here; also check for new entries related to sound and
udev in /var/log/syslog.
If you do get /dev/dsp you can restart KDE and see if the error message
is gone. Then you can try your sound at "K-Menu > Control Center > Sound
& Multimedia > Sound System" with the "Test Sound" button. This is also
the place to check if the sound system is enabled and the audio device
is set to "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" (in the "Hardware" tab).
If everything seems fine (no errors) but you still can't hear anything
it might be due to the volume being set to zero. Open a Konsole window
and use "alsamixer" to check.

P.S. Please keep the discussion on the list. If your email program does
not have a "reply-to-list" function you can use "reply-to-all", manually
delete my email address and change the mode for debian-laptop from "Cc:"
to "To:".
