I got the sound working. You have to enable the sound driver module via modprobe (add it to /etc/modules), install alsa, and in my case I had to add a config.txt file to force it to use HDMI mode instead of DVI. I also used it to reduce the resolution since I found it too high (tiny text etc)
For performance, I'm using ssh tunnelling to launch the browser on my regular PC and get the output on the raspberry pi. The built-in browser or the pi itself suffers when launching a javascript-heavy site like facebook or gmail. In fact I'm sending this from my pi :) Ramon Casha On 30 June 2012 11:12, Keith Vassallo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Guys, > > So I've been experimenting with my Raspberry Pi. > > I've tried Debian Squeeze and it works well, except for sound which seems > to work only on occasion.
