Compiling the kernel is recommended, towards this end do the following. Read the kernel compiling HOWTO and the docs in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/, with emphasis on /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes and /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound. First please insert the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main Connect to the Internet and do an 'apt-get update'. After that process is complete, do an 'apt-get install alsa-source'. After the download is complete, the install process will ask questions about your sound card. Answer clue-fully and now U are ready for kernel brewing. Read the /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README- .Debian.gz and hop on to the ALSA band-wagon. Do learn how to compile your kernel using the 'kernel-package' tool. It is one thought-out-niftiest tool I have ever come across the Debian package pool. -- ragOO, VU2RGU Keeping the Air-Waves FREE.........Amateur Radio Keeping the W W W FREE..Debian GNU/${kernel}
