Tried fiddling with Alsamixer, like it say elsewhere on site, but did not work. Don't know if problem has anything to do with KDE - newly installed Debian Squeeze.

Using Iceweasel, essentially firefox. KDE's signature tune when it starts works. Great thanks any suggestions at all. 'Phonon' replaces 'arts' does it?

Great thanks. So I should install same therefore? Installed pulseaudio and tried youtube, still no sound.

Create file /etc/asound.conf:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card Headset
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card Headset
}

Where headset is the sound thing you want from /proc/asound/cards . This gives 'Headset' as the default device.
