User talk:Alan

I hope that what I'm writing will be read by someone, preferably an ALSA expert.

I am a longtime Linux user. Until three days ago I was using a very old Debian sarge. After some effort and help from sound experts, I had got my sound system working, back in February. My card is:

      via82xx VIA Technologies

This last weekend -- Mar 22-23 -- I upgraded to etch. I performed the same drill

   apt-get install module-assistant
   module-assistant auto-install alsa-source

that had worked for my sarge install. I have run alsamixer, to set my volume levels to high. aplay seems to run, on a variety of left-over .wav files. But no sound comes from my speakers!

Suggestions? If any are made, please send them to my home E-address, alan@patriot.net.
