Installing/Configuring ALSA Sound Modules In Debian

Posted by Hemos on from the how-to-make-the-sounds dept.

GonzoJohn writes "Linux Orbit explains how: "A very common question that comes up when trying Debian GNU/Linux is how the heck do you get Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (a.k.a. ALSA) sound modules set up properly? In this HOWTO we'll show you how to compile and install the ALSA kernel modules, and then setup things using the ALSA Debian script so that modules are automatically loaded and unloaded, and your mixer levels are saved and restored on boot up. Here are some things you'll need to have before you start this HOWTO""

    It's quite rare that I read a /. post, especially a highly rated one, that I don't understand at all -- but this is the second one today. "Cakewalk?" "Cubase?" "Fruityloops?" What the hell is this guy talking about? Are there really a lot of people here who understand?

    The other one that flummoxed me was on the gambling story; some guy who clearly knew a lot about bookmaking, going on and on about the "vig". Another term I've never heard before, but he was at +5, so I have to assume that lots of other folks have.
