Dears, I have Debian Gnu/Linux 2.2 installed on my m/c. My sound card type PCMEDIA. I installed the driver also. The problem is, if run any player, player shows as it is playing..but there is no sound in speaker... Can anyne help me out ? Thanks M.Muthusami

Hi, Firstly check to see if the driver u loaded for u're card ( assuming u loaded it as a module) is actually loaded into the kernel. U can do this by typing 'lsmod' at the command prompt as root. If u see the module loaded, but u're card is still dead, then u may have bigger problems to deal with here. U should probably contact the person who coded up the driver in the first place for help. Before u do that however, there is a program called 'sndconfig' run this as root from the commandline and see if u get better results, Since u may not be configuring it correctly by ureself. I don't know of any other suggestions I can make here except that u should consult the Sound howto for more details. U can find it at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO/ By the way, I cant find any supported card of the description PCMEDIA. U're using the wrong driver maybe? Kannan

Hai, Thanks for your reply. I checked module be lsmod. Module was already loaded. I installed driver from debina 2.2 rev3 itself. But when i play gnome-game sound is coming properly !!!. But when play mp3 songs from freemp, mp3soundblaster or xmms, in player it showing player is running...like time is runnig..and skin image running.... pl help me out muthusami.
