I described building a wheezy system on a 16-G flash drive and then cloning a couple of others with DD. There was no speech and I asked if it should work. Samuel Thibault wrote: > It should. Please report the issue using the reportbug tool (or the > debian-user list if you do not understand the reportbug tool). Over the weekend, I did some more tests. The two test computers are both Dell desktops from around the year 2000. One has a gigabyte of RAM and is a 600-MHZ Pentium so it should work with those resources. The other is a 400-MHZ Pentium Dell Optiplex with only 386 Megs of RAM but it presently runs the old Vinux 2.0 well. The system with the gigabyte even has two sound cards but both were totally mute on boot. The 400-MHZ system is also mute when booting from the netinstall CD. I am kind of surprised as neither of these systems is exotic. Both have the CS423X sound chip on the mother board but the boot sequence appears to either not recognize the sound card or cards or it is not setting the volume. I will file a report as soon as I can describe the problem by something better than "It's broken." Fortunately, I have the old Vinux disk image and can interact with the system when running that. One thing I will try is to burn a newer testing netinstall CD as I did see Wheezy has updated the console setup, speakup and a few other things that are involved with the startup processes that might effect the hardware discovery regarding sound. The boot CD I have been using is from October 20.
