Hello,
I have no clue if this area is even for Debian, but anyways. I switched from
OpenBSD which had no Audio Problem, but Debian seems to have trouble using my
ESS-Audio Drive SoundCard. Does anyone know how I'd enable ESS-Audio Drive Support
I don't know who manufactures it, but I do know It's on board. It detects as PCI,
but is not supported by Debian, atleast I don't think it is.
Thanks,
Kevin Veroneau
This area is _not_ for Debian
This area is _not_ for Debian. Debian has its own forums which can help you alot better: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/
I don't remember Debian Woody having a sound card setup for OSS, and OSS is all Debian Woody knows. Find the model of your card with lspci, and try to modprobe the appropriate module. To make the change permament, place the name of the module in /etc/modules.
If you manage that, you could also try out ALSA, which is alot better. It comes included in the 2.6 kernel. You can try building 2.6 on your own (there is a feature about that here at kerneltrap.org), or you can try out the default 2.6 kernels packages that come with Debian testing and unstable. You have to modify /etc/apt/sources.list to change from stable to testing/unstable, run apt-get update and then dselect or apt-get install [package].
Good luck!
