Sound support seems to be one of the less well documented areas for Linux in general and Debian in particular (go ahead, flame away and point me to the how-to's I missed!).
I know I SHOULD be able to get a happy configuration with my Sound Blaster Live - but I'm not getting very far. The frustrating part is the lack of consistency - sometimes I can get things to work, and sometimes not. I'm trying to get comfortable with Debian - to actually get a feel for how it works (without messing with code or re-compiling the kernel!) and how to support it. So I just keep re-installing to see which steps mess me up less than others. Can someone point me to a resource to understand the sound support available in Debian? Stuff that will explain to me the differences between OSS, ESD, ALSA, etc.? And then of course adding a desktop environment like KDE or GNOME adds another layer. BTW, I'm using Woody - I think. I started messing with my sources.list, just for fun, and I may have partially upgraded to Sarge or Sid. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
