I've got three jacks together on my T3985 (Celeron system with all the
stuff in the motherboard):
My new debian system doesn't relay any sound to my speakers. I've
tried two sets of speakers, and both sets work on my other system's cd
drive jack. The sound plug area in the back of my new system has three
holes, and the "line out" output is the same green plastic as the male
part on the wire to the speakers. The other two holes say MIC (orange)
and "line out" (light blue). Another system I recently tried to install
linux on also could not put sound out and it also had the same three
jack holes (apparently that's popular now?). I wonder if the driver
expects only one or two holes and is confused by seeing three?
I've looked at some postings about problems like this, and none seems to
match mine exactly. One said the guy could play on root, but I tried
that with cdplay start on this, and it still didn't make noise. I'm not
sure what else to look for.
I think the special files are /dev/dsp*, and I changed these to
protection 666. I run CD Player
to test the sound and it runs and identifies a Duke Ellington CD, but
the sound just don't come out even though it shows the CD playing.
I'm not sure if the drivers for audio are all there. The only thing I
see is something called "soundcore", but perhaps that's all that's needed:
