Hi,
My name is Marshall Haire. I have a system that has a k6-2 500mhz processor running debian sarge with multiple kernels. They are: 2.4.27, 2.6.8, 2.6.16 and 2.6.19.2. In the first two kernels alsa works fine and I have sound. In the 2.6.16 and 2.6.19.2 I do not have sound working. When I compiled the 2.6.16 and 2.6.19.2 it was to fix the packet writing capabilities for a HP 9100b CD-Writer. That is working now, but sound is still not working. I have tried using alsaconf, amixer, alsamixer and I get this noise when I unmute the IEC 958 1 on any mixer program. I have alsa updated to a new version of alsa, 1.0.14 I believe. This has not helped either. If anyone has any suggestions what I could do to get the sound working in these other two kernels that would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated.
