| Hello,
I have a tecra 8000 with Debian Sarge installed. All is well except the
sound is not working. I have googled fixes for this and most of what I
have found is for Ubunta. And most of it sounds a bit confusing to me. I
was hoping there might be a package I could load that might get the sound
going.
Thanks,
Fred

I installed the alsa packages on my tecra and then used the detect program
and all was well.
If the auto-detect does not work, I still have the module settings from when
I ran slackware on my tecra and had to manually enter the irq and other
fiddly bits.
The only gotcha on tecra sound is one I have heard other people having,
forgetting to turn up the volume knob on the front and wondering why there
was no sound :-)

it would be great if you could post your settings... I havent been
able to get sound goung on my tecra 8000 at all. even under Knoppix,
which usually finds everything. I know the sound card works, as the
machine also boots windows 98.

In order to allow alsaconf to configure my tecra I had to first load the
opl3 module using modprobe. then alsa config found it with no problem and
set up everything.
good luck. I would still carry the tecra but both the built in and optional
batteries no longer hold a charge.

Sorry for being a rock but how do you load the op13 module and then how
do I get this alsa to work?
Thanks,
Fred
