Hi,

I believe the below information will help you.
Installing the latest stable ALSA modules

For an easy install we will be using the ATrpms
<http://www.atrpms.net/>repository.


*1.* Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.

*2.* Switch to the root user by entering the command “su -” (without the
quotes) and typing in your root password

*3.* Edit the file /etc/yum.conf. Using nano we type the command:

nano -w /etc/yum.conf

*4.* If you have already configured yum to use the ATrpms repository then
append “*alsa*” to the end of the “includepkgs” line and skip the next
setup. Otherwise continue on.

*5.* Add the following to the bottom of this file:

[atrpms]
name=EL $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
exclude=*kmdl*i586*
includepkgs=*alsa*

*6.* Save the file. In nano you press Ctrl-X, answer yes to the “Save
modified buffer” question and then press enter on the file name to write.

*7.* If you have not previously setup ATrpms execute the following command:

rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

*8.* Now execute the following command:

yum install alsa-driver alsa-kmdl-`uname -r`

*9.* Reboot your system and you will be using the updated ALSA module.

Remember that you may need to adjust your volume settings.

Hey, did you recognized that we are all running Debian? Your method
is not recomended by the Debin ALSA Maintainers and of course won't
work.

BTW, for the ens1371 audio chip the Lenny drives are relevant enough.

???

How did this arrive on a Debian list? It appears to be the answer to a
correctly placed Debian query from a RH based system user.

Stephen:

Thanks a lot for your patience. No more top posting, sorry. I also tried to arrange columns with Open Office Write but I see that it didn't work as expected.



About the Debian release: I installed it from DVD Debian Lenny 5.0.3 downloaded through jigdo. That version number I posted was obtained from file /proc/version which
I though should have better information after many updates through
Synaptics.


About point [6], I checked again and there is only one column shown.

Right now I'm listening to a CD played by "cdcd" program (from command prompt) in this Debian PC as I write this mail and sound is great. However programs from GNU graphical environment doesn't seem to work at all (Totem, Sound juicer). ¿Could this mean that sound divers are OK but something is wrong someshere else in the graphis environment?

When I say that it used to work I mean that all media worked Ok. when Debian was installed. I don't exactly knowwhen stopped working because I accepted several synaptic updates for a period of about 2 mpnth before trying musica again.

Regards

/proc/version shows the kernel release and the release of the GNU C
Compiler (gcc) which compiled it, as well as the Debian version numbers
of the kernel and compiler. That's not what I want. What's the output of

cat /etc/debian_version

That can't be right. What's the output of

amixer

I see English is not your first language either. English does not
use inverted question marks at the beginning of a question, only
a standard (non-inverted) question mark at the end of the question.
But back to the subject at hand, I believe cdcd, like cdtool,
uses the analog playback method. A "play" command is sent to the
CD drive across the I/O bus. The drive obeys. It plays itself.
It converts the digital data on the audio CD to an analog audio
signal and sends this analog audio signal to the sound card via
a three- or four-wire audio cable. The sound card is simply
functioning as an amplifier. As viewed by the I/O bus, system
memory, and host processor, nothing is going on. But other sounds
are produced by sending digital data to the PCM device, which you
claim does not exist. That's why I want the output of amixer.

OK, so everything used to work under Debian, you applied some
updates, and now some stuff doesn't work. Is that right?
