[linux-audio-user] Alsa issues

[Garett Shulman]

Hey Terrance, I can try to help you out. I'm not too familiar with 
alsaconf, though. However, I've gotten pretty good at getting alsa setup 
manually. What sound card(s) do you have? What does 'ls /proc/asound?' 
return? What apps are you trying to run? Do you have an 
/etc/asound.conf? If so, what's in it? Does your screen reader give an 
error when you try to start it? If so, what is it? -Garett
