Laptops :: laptop satellite vs DSL



Ok, I tried that, at least xmms doesn't freeze now, but there's still no sound :(

I even used the exact line that was posted in the link you posted with modprobe(since my HW is the same) and nothing.   When I hit play on XMMS, I hear a click from the speakers, and then nothing, it just sits there.  I can stop it and hit play again, and just "click".

mpg123 does the same thing, only it clicks about every second when you play something.  Do I have to maybe uninstall alsa?  It tried to load it when the system starts up... If I do have to remove it, how do I do that on this distro?

Thanks in advance!
Yes, get rid of alsa to avoid any conflicts.
Also, do you have your sound volume turned up with the control on the front of the laptop? You may need to drag the volume button on xmms a little to the left as well.
Yes I have the speaker turned up.  So how can I get rid of alsa?  I don't see an uninstall anywhere...  Never played with DSL too much...
I'm not sure how you installed it. There is no uninstall, however for Frugal, normally. You need to find out where the files went, and remove them, that's all. If you put the the easy thing is just to move the alsa.dsl to someplace where it doesn't get loaded at boot up.
Ok, so I got it working, sorta.  I'm gonna just trash the whole distro and start over though, I can't seem to get rid of ALSA, and now my windows managers are all screwed up.

Note to self: Don't install icewm-lite!!! It screwed up my whole system :(

Thanks for the help doobit
