There are conflicts with the previous sound configuration or incorrect driver. Unfortunately, as you begin to know, when the automatic sound configuration by DSL fails is not a easy job to do a manual configuration. When a test fails, you must not be satisfied with only one attempt. The smallest details does the difference between success and unsuccess.
First check if your steps was this when you installed ALSA: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. If boot from LiveCD you must use the boot option "dsl alsa". If DSL was installed to hard disk you must add the option "alsa" (without quotation marks) to file /etc/lilo.conf file if the boot loader installed is Lilo, or to /boot/grub/menu.lst file if the boot loader installed is Grub.
2. Install the 3 following MyDSL extensions:
-gnu-utils.dsl -dsl-dpkg.dsl -If your DSL is v2.0 or v2.1 then install alsa.dsl, else install alsadebs.dsl. (IMPORTANT: Choose the correct file for your DSL version or the ALSA driver not will work)
3. Execute the "ALSA install" script by go to MyDSL -> ALSA menu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you did not something from above, you must do the installation again.
Next, check the installation by reading the result from this command :
lsmod Check if appears the snd-es18xx module. If not, try this:
sudo su update-modules
And execute "alsaconf" utility:
alsaconf
When installs ALSA all mixer channels are muted by default. Then execute "alsamixer" utility so:
alsamixer
Using the keyboard, the Left and right arrow keys are used to select the channel, while 'M' key toggles muting for the current channel.
