I don't understand this line. Can you be more specific?

I have just done this. But I don't understand the
relationship between ALSA and pulseaudio. Are they
competitors? supposed to work together?

The result:

Did you mean Lenny? thats Debian 5, no? I have just
installed Wheezy, although Squeeze was working very well.

Haven't I/we established that my problem is a configuration
issue? My speakers are what they've always been; my
hardware, three weeks old, works fine when booted from a
M$ DVD. So I am hoping that advice from experts will
help me to get as good sound results with Wheezy as I
had with Squeeze.
Again I thank you for your quick response. Now that I'm addressing
768...@bugs.debian.org as well, maybe others will have a suggestion.
