Drove me mad...... Found various explanations of how to install ALSA drivers, and edit /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9, but at the end of it NO SOUND. The instructions I found stated the ALSA drivers default to zero volume, and suggest alsamixer to adjust it up. However eventually found a post that stated that "alsamixer" is bust in Woody (at least with this hardware combination), and when I switched to "aumix" I got sound pretty much straight away. sndconfig wanted to use Trident drivers, but these don't work with the ALI5451 South Bridge audio card in the ACER 200TX laptop. Rarely has so much been compiled to so little effect. Ultimately built alsa-source, installed alsa-base and alsa-utils, ensured kernel had OSS, and modified /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 to link /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer etc to relevant drivers. Installed aumix, and upped volume. Only lurking mystery is why Super Methane Brothers full screen mode only covered the middle of the screen, when it has an 800x600 mode. But I guess that doesn't matter. Simon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
