(solved) Re: my sound card does not work in etch

You're right. With "modprobe snd_pcm_oss", I can start xmix. After changing volume level, I can hear TV audio from xawtv. Thanks! Florian Kulzer wrote: On Sun, Aug 19, 2007 at 08:26:35 -0400, qipaishi wrote: My sound card use cs4281 and it works in sarge but it does not work in etch xawtv
