Hello Lorenzo, I have done variences of the following from what you suggest: apt-get install alsa-modules-speakup-2.4.27 apt-get install alsa -modules -speakup-2.4.27 apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.27 and some other variences. But I always keep the first part the same: apt-get install alsa It cannot find that module Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorenzo Prince" <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 5:58 PM Subject: Re: frustrated What kernel are you running? If you are running a 2.4.x kernel, try: apt-get install alsa-modules-<kernel-version> replacing <kernel-version> with the appropriate version of your kernel. Then do: apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils and run: alsaconf to configure your sound card. If you are running a 2.6.x kernel, skip the first step, as alsa is a part of the 2.6 kernel. So all you need to do is: apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils alsaconf and follow the instructions presented by alsaconf. Then you will have full alsa support in Debian. Happy New Year, and please don't give up on Linux.
