Trying to use xMMs on DSL 2.0 with an HP Pavilion ZX5000us
laptop.

I am a COMPLETELY new Linux user.

Been trying to following some of the threads here to try to resolve my problem.

When DSL boots, the screen displays the following:

Soundcard: unknown vendor unknown device 1002:4341 driver=unknown

Code 1002:4341 appears to be the PCI ID code for
ATI Technologies IXP150 AC'97 Audio Controller

Sound does work when I used Knoppix 4.0, the same sound card
statement at boot up displayed driver=snd_atiixp.

I don't get anything when I do modprobe snd_atiixp with DSP 2.0

I tried performing the instructions associated with ALSA but
it didn't appear to help, either....though I'm not convinced that I
completely 'install' things when I download the three files
into the system via myDSL: gnu_utils.dsl, dsl_dpkg.dsl, alsadebs.dsl.
They download into /tmp. I don't do anything else with them prior
to doing 'install ALSA' on the myDSL menu. Still nothing happens
when trying to play something with xMMs.

Have I missed anything fundamental or crucial here?

Thanks for any help anybody can give!

The alsadebs.dsl extension is only supported for DSL versions 0.8 through 1.5

There is a new alsa.dsl extension available for DSL 2.0 series kernels and it is located in the mydsl testing area. Give it a try.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try on Turkey Day
and post my results.

To be clear, this file replaces alsadebs.dsl in the
files I download?

I also do not have to do anything further with each
of the files once they are downloaded into the
system via myDSL?

Thanks,
