alsa and kernel 2.6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.  the easiest way to get alsa running in Debian is to

apt-get install alsa-base

With the 2.6 kernel using alsa, that's all you should need.

Debian is a package based distro, you can build from source, but (most
of the time) can just install the package and start using the app.

Hope this helps.
