    I just got sound working on my desktop. I first installed the following packages:

    1) alsa-base
    2) alsa-oss
    3) alsa-utils

    I didn't install any alsa-modules as I am running 2.6.12 kernel.

    After I installed these packages i ran the command "alsaconf"; I first
    thought the command is "alsa-config", however, that didn't work,
    "alsaconf" did.

    Now my only problem is that (same as above) I have to rerun alsaconf
    everytime I reboot. Any solutions to how this can be fixed would be grand.

    Above it was mentioned to install "discover". When attempting to do so
    apt wants to remove "discover1". What is the difference between
    "discover" and "discover1"?

    Thanks,
    Louis
