I ran "alsaconf" on my recently-updated Debian 3.1r1.

It worked like a charm and ended with the following messages:
hmmm... apparently not after all...



Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...

Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

Have a lot of fun!

However when checking the output of a .wav file by running the "play"
command from a console, I get a deafening silence. "alsamixer" says the
the "playback master" is set at 74.

I think you need more than just "playback master" turned up. PCM for one, I think. heck turn 'em all up, you can always turn them down later :)



What have I missed? Prior to the update (when using the Sarge
pre-release) sound worked OK.

are the sound modules loaded? (lsmod)
are they the right modules? (lsmod again and lspci and modinfo are your friends)
