Dell Optiplex 730 + Sound + Debian

June 8th, 2005

If you are experiencing problems getting your sound to work, try using the legacy devices in /dev/.static/dev/audio0

First you will need to set the permissions.. (by default they are 700)

chmod 755 /dev/.static

Now, use /dev/.static/dev/audio0 for you sound card.

Anecdotally, once I use the device this way, it mysteriously starts to work in /dev/audio as well.
