Other Help Topics :: sound problem

I just did a HD install of dsl 1.4. everything is working great except there is no sound out of my back speakers(i have a 5.1 speaker setup). they worked fine with other distros but they all had the newer kernel, so could this be the problem? any suggestions on how to correct the problem?

thanx

Give the alsadebs.dsl extension a try. It is located in the myDSL repository.

Read the alsadebs.dsl.info file for detailed instructions.

installing alsadebs.dsl.info did not work. any other suggestions?

OK i think i unstalled the alsa driver wrong. it says to:
1. Start up DSL with the "dsl alsa" boot command.
2. Install the gnu-utils.dsl myDSL extension.
3. Install the dsl-dpkg.dsl myDSL extension.
4. Install this extension alsadebs.dsl
5. Choose "Install ALSA" from the myDSL menu.

when it says "Start up DSL with the "dsl alsa" boot command" ok i have a hard drive install....is this talking about when you boot the live cd? how do start up dsl with a boot command on a hd install? thanx for the help

I am sure someone out there can help me out...i cant be the only one who uses alsa drivers?
