That might be it. Here's my output:

grisey:/etc/init.d# lsmod | grep snd
snd-ali5451            11660   0 
snd-pcm                57120   0  [snd-ali5451]
snd-timer              11176   0  [snd-pcm]
snd-ac97-codec         24804   0  [snd-ali5451]
snd                    30860   0  [snd-ali5451 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec]
soundcore               3556   0  [snd]


With this combination, asound plays o.k. and alsamixer works.

BTW, in my first mail I didn't realize it used an old pd version installed by Debian (0.34).

With the new one (after deinstalling the old one), I get the following error:

couldn't open MIDI output device 1
opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s).
/dev/dsp (read/write): No such device
(now will try write-only...)
/dev/dsp (writeonly): No such device
error: OSS: SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS failed /dev/dsp
audio I/O stuck... closing audio

The /dev/dsp exists. (About the MIDI: That's not my problem. That's taken care of as soon as I insmod my midi-driver. I'm just concerned with sound i/o).

Thanx Frank,
