egorgry 0 Posted December 2, 2004 What kernel are you running? What Desktop? for some reason debian gnome sets teh mixer to mute. Does sound work as root? Check permisions on the mixer in /dev and add your user to teh audio group. I suggest getting the latest 2.6.x kernel it has also in there already among other goodies. Share this post Link to post
kobedf 0 Posted December 2, 2004 at the moment i have the 2.4 kernel ... i use kde ....but i login from gnome and choose kde beacuse this seems to be the only way to do that...the onnly way i can start kde ( don't know why) there is no sound in root nor anywhere else. Share this post Link to post
