It may not be a problem of distributions, however, everything worked with the alsa packages and configuration that come with Ubuntu, but not with those which come with Debian. > At this moment I overbridge the problem on a absurd virtual way: external > speakers, there is a vol-button you can rise up. External speakers are not working for me. @all: I think I've found the root of my problem: I booted the computer with a Knoppix Flash drive, with which all sound output and input was fine. While checking the /proc/asound/cards of the Knoppix system, I noticed an Sigmatel Audio Card, additional to the HDA Intel entry. For the same Sigmatel Chip there werde Channels displayed in Alsa mixer, which seemed to actually control my volume. This Sigmatel entry is missing on my Debian System. Does anyone know how to add this card to my alsa? Best Regards Savio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
