Assembled Wisdom! I bought a new desktop, and installed Wheezy(Debian v 7) on it. And sound, ALSA, which ran very well with Squeeze, is now frightful. When it runs, it yields horribly staticy, crackly sound. When I click to pause a video, the crackly sound continues for another 4 secondes before ceasing. Here is the result of my cat of /proc/asound/cards: 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf7d14000 irq 43 1 [Intel_1 ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf7d10000 irq 43 I believe that they are supported under Wheezy? My kernel is: vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-686-pae . This is old, I am told, but my Squeeze kernel was v 2.6 IIRC. I found that there is a pulseaudio in Debian backports, and I installed that, but it did not help. A possibility is to remove the present ALSA from my system, and then build ALSA on my own. Can ALSA be built from source? I have gcc 4.7.2 installed. I shall be extremely grateful for help, or suggestions.
