Nice tutorial.I appreciate the way you did it, posting on Xisto the link to your own blog, nice, smart and honest way for giving here an info you published somewhere else.I also appreciated the tutorial on your blog, personally I am more familiar with rpm, I never used apt-get, so your tuto is very useful for me. Just a small detail point, I am surprised by the "chmod 777" on /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. This gives everybody permission of deleting /dev/mixer, isn't this too permissive ? I would add a "chmod o-w /dev/mixer" in order to prevent from an accidental removal.Yordan

AnswerSetting Up Sound In Debian

Replying to oxydonThank you yordan :)I agree with you chmod 777 is too permissive, it would even allow somebody to remotely play sound in your computer, but I thought the average desktop user would not care (at the moment I was writing), so chmod o-w /dev/mixer is better I will edit that on my blog right now, and sorry for the horrible delay.PS: back at the time articles were so few that I given the blog main page adress, to access this tutorial directly you can follow this direct link:http://metal-oxyde.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-set-up-sound-in-debian.html
