Sound issues Posted by Filip Van Raemdonck in Debian at 18:13

A month or two ago, I installed Etch/amd64 on a HP system which uses the ATI SB400 chipset. It worked great mostly, but sound was choppy from the start.
I decided this week to investigate and quickly discovered that oss emulation on this chipset is giving most people issues. It turns out the solution, for a GNOME desktop, is really simple: remove the libesd0 package and install libesd-alsa0 instead, so that esd does not use OSS emulation.

Which begs the question, could the Debian installation system be made smarter so that systems using ALSA drivers wouldn't use OSS unless for applications that only support the latter?
