gstreamer in debian ?
ok, on this old dell 8100 laptop ( formerly ran xubuntu ) im trying to use debian. there is no sound, and trying to open the volume control gives a messege of " cannot mount, no gstreamer" I went into syaptic and search for gstreamer, and it only comes back with a bunch of open office updates. does debian not use gstreamer ? I noticed it uses ice weasle instead of firefox...maybe i need something different to get sound working. ?

Which version of Debian are you using?
Code:cat /etc/debian_version
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Difference is in PATH variable. Check the output of echo $PATH in both terminals. Path will be complete in root terminal and you will have access to all Administrative commands.
Execute alsamixer command in Terminal and check if it allows you to set volume.
In case it doesn't work, post the output of this
Code:ls -la /dev/snd
