Sound problem

Debian... doesn;t allow deb packages? 

nope

ummmm, Debian runs .deb packages so I'm not understanding this at all 
 Ubuntu is based from Debian... and it runs .deb too

well .deb files didn't work for me the way they do on ubuntu

Maybe you should try this command (as root):

Code: [Select]

alsaconf

I will try that! I will install granular on another partition and report the outcome

Sure.

It works, I can't believe it works. You are an absolute star Anurag!

Glad to know it worked out. Now you can listen to music and watch movies with ease.
