Multimedia :: No sound and no sndconfig



Hi !

I've just installed DSL on my old laptop (P2-233, 160MB, 30GB, No ethernet)...
It works fine but I've no sound... so I wanted to launch sndconfig but it's not installed on my system... or maybe it's not in the $PATH ?

I try to download the .deb from debian mirrors... but dpkg donc work (dpkg/status is missing) ... and I've seen that apt-get is not present too ...

Is all of that normal ?

How can I configure my soundcar ?

Thanks
Lenn.

First you need enable APT by open the menu and go Apps >> Tools >> Enable Apt
So then you will be able to install the "sndconfig" Debian package.
Before can be convenient to update the download sources of Debian packages:

sudo su
apt-get update

After the process is finished, download the Debian utility package:

apt-get install sndconfig

i have that problem too, but when i tried the apt get, it says im not authorized. and it asks if im root

Root permission is required to use apt-get command. This command to get root permission:

sudo su

ok, now that works, but apt-get update, apt-get install sndconfig, they dont work
