Since I have installed Debian 3, I haven't been able to get the sound
system to work. Looking for answers, I find lots of information in bits
and pieces -- for example I was able to change the error message from
something like "permission denied" or "/dev/dsp does not exist" to the
following, by adding users to the "audio" group. I believe I have a
driver loaded ("via82cxxx" appears in lsmod), but there seems to be so
many different ways of configuring sound, much of it conflicting advice,
that I'm not sure where I'm at anymore.
Most everything else about setting up Debian has been fairly
straightforward, or the set-up recognises the hardware and gets the
configuration right. I wonder if I've missed something, that would help
get the sound working?
Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
device: default can't be opened for playback (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
