| Member (again) | I am running Debian Sarge on my dad's Dell Latitude D600 laptop, and I recompiled the kernel (several times, because I kept screwing it up) not so long ago to 2.6.15.6. Finally, I got everything to work, except the sound card. I compiled in ALSA support as a module, and even went back and looked at the config I used to make sure I had the driver for this sound card checked, and I did. So I deleted alsa and redid apt-get install alsa, ran alsaconf, let it install the driver, and it didn't work. But, if I boot into the original precompiled kernel (2.6.8), the sound works. Could somebody please tell me what the HECK I did wrong? TIA everybody. |

| try this - apt-get install module-assistant m-a prepare m-a auto-install alsa i have never had that not work for me on several different computers with different sound cards. although they were running etch and unstable, i've never installed stable, i always just install testing or unstable, so yeah. |
