no sound. Think there is something wrong with the driver

Hi, I just installed Debian and it hits me that my earphones and loudspeakers suddenly do not work. I checked the volume monitor and control and they both indicate that there is some sound on the system, I just am not able to hear it and I doubt that my ears are the problem.

Try running alsaconf in terminal (as root).

which will work, but if you still have errors or questions,
no sound on Etch

Thanks guys, it worked. (:

Okay, now I got another sound problem. There is no sound on my iceweasel browser. I can watch flash movies but not listen to them. What do I do?

[netstrider]

Which version of Flash do you have installed? Are you running a 64-bit pc?

[phopogologo]

you know. I would love to tell you, but honestly I do not know which version of flash I installed. I just typed in the url youtube.com and iceweasel told me that I should install some plugins and I just pressed yes and then it was installed. I have not been able to find out where the plugins are installed and therefore cannot tell you.

I am running a 32-bit pc.

I suggest downloading flash manually and install it. Installing it is as simple as running ./flashplayer-installer from the extracted directory. It will create a file called libflashplayer.so under ./mozilla/plugins (in your home directory. To check your plugins directory input this URL in Firefox:
about : plugins (Note that the double-period must be against the about and plugins, I seperated them to prevent the forum to make a " " smiley.

I am not sure what you mean by "the extracted directory", sorry.

Okay, I tried to run alsaconf again and suddenly iceweasel/firefox was able to give me sound. Thank you so much, Netstrider.
