# alsa-config For my 1998 vintage laptop, I have to manually specify that it's a Soundblaster 1688 (or something like that), but for the newer machines alsa-config is all I have to run and everything is detected, configured and loaded. Maybe if there are multiple sound cards, but then I didn't rtfa. |

Depending on what this guy installed, You may not get alsa as the sound system. However, installing alsa-base should pull in everything else needed except alsa-utils which has the alsaconf utility to bring the whole thing up. I'm pretty sure the gnome desktop doesn't bring in alsa, but KDE did bring it in and set it up last time I installed. |

If you really want sound to work right on any linux, jettison aRtsd and ESD and whatever other horrid little soundservers are floating around, and stick with ALSA. You'll get better everything and no conflicts. |
