Yes, you guessed right; it wasn't that important to me as I'm not using the laptop for multimedia anyway. Sorry about that. But now I used an hour to test it for the benefit of other N600c users, and by rebuilding the modules from the source package it worked like you suggested and I got sound: -------clip------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCI [ESS Allegro PCI], device 0: Allegro [Allegro] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 -------clap------- However, I don't understand _why_ it worked, as the source and binary packages were of the same version. Could you please give some insight on that... -------clip------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l alsa-base alsa-source Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii alsa-base 1.0.15-3 ALSA driver configuration files ii alsa-source 1.0.15-3 ALSA driver sources -------clap------- Also, I now have two versions of the maestro3 module under my /lib/modules/2.6.23-1-68/ dir, in o /lib/modules/2.6.23-1-686/kernel/sound/pci/snd-maestro3.ko o /lib/modules/2.6.23-1-686/updates/alsa/pci/snd-maestro3.ko (as well as two versions of other sound modules). How does the system know to load the correct versions? Is there some magic in the dirname "updates" or what? In conclusion: Because the maestro3 module, kernel and alsa seem to work ok now, I'd presume that the only bug is in the binary package dependencies. So my guess is that the 2.6.23 kernel package should depend on recompiled alsa modules (new binary package, perhaps?) Is that correct? And finally, thanks for your help.
