Could you try the following. cd /usr/share/alsa mv alsa.conf alsa.conf.original (_do_ _not_ delete it, just move it so that you could copy it back in case required) gunzip /path/to/download/alsa.conf.gz mv /path/to/download/alsa.conf ./ restart machine.
From: Andrea Giuliano on 2 May 2010 10:50 Dear Anand, I tried your configuration file, but nothing changed. For all of you who were so kind to try to help me, here are some good news: I tried to install kernel 2.6.32 from lenny backports and the sound seems to work now. At least I could here the "login.wav" that most Lenny users know. The bad part is that now I cannot make the graphics card to work, because I should recompile the NVidia driver, but to accomplish this task I need linux-headers-$(uname -r), and this package depend on the corresponding linux-kbuild, which won't install, according to apt-get message. This is a pity, but at least now I'm sure the sound card is working. My PC is brand new, so I'm happy it's not a hardware problem, even though it's still a problem. So I would say the issue is solved, from my point of view. I won't ask some help to force the installation of linux-headers in this thread, maybe I'll start another one. Many many thanks to everyone!

From: Anand Sivaram on 2 May 2010 12:00 Andrea, Nice to know that your sound issue is fixed. Even I found a similar problem with this laptop too, I installed the stock debian 2.6.32 kernel and there was no sound. Then I hand compiled, the latest 2.6.34-rc5 kernel and things started working. Now you are having problems with nvidia drivers, I have a couple of suggestions for you. Try whatever suits you better. * avoid the nvidia binary driver, binary drivers always give a lot of problems. You could reconfgure your xorg with 2d "nv" driver. But if you are a gamer or using compiz 3d desktop, then you have problems with this approach * install squeeze (i think you you could upgrade from lenny, not sure) so that you get most of the new software. I am using unstable(sid) on my desktop and squeeze on my laptop, never tried lenny at all...... * There is a new "nouveau" re-engineered free/open 3d nvidia driver from 2.6.33, kernel for that you need a new kernel * build a new kernel with nvidia driver If you are planning either the last two options, you could take a new kernel from official kernel.org. It takes around 15 minutes of your time and maximum around 2 hours of your computers time :), there are a lot of resources to do that and you could get a lot of help too. Anyway, best of luck with your kernel endeavor. Thanks and Regards Anand * compile a new kernel completely based on newer k On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 20:12, Andrea Giuliano <sarkiaponius(a)alice.it> wrote: > Dear Anand, > > I tried your configuration file, but nothing changed. > > For all of you who were so kind to try to help me, here are some good > news: I tried to install kernel 2.6.32 from lenny backports and the > sound seems to work now.

From: Andrea Giuliano on 4 May 2010 12:40 Dear Anand, I simply compiled the current alsa-driver, without changing the default kernel for Lenny, and everything went fine. This new PC with Athlon X4 is still driving me crazy because of many little problems. The last one is with DV grabbing, but that another story, I'm going to tell that to the kinodv mailing list. Best regards. On Sun, 2010-05-02 at 21:24 +0530, Anand Sivaram wrote: > Andrea, > > > Nice to know that your sound issue is fixed.
