+To debug audio problems, I access the Linux command line via ssh and use some command-line utilities to test and configure.
−The Linux audio system is called ALSA. You can install '''alsa-utils''' to get some command line tools for testing/configuring audio. Unfortunately, ALSA and Linux audio configuration is complex and hard to figure out.
−Install those utilities by giving the command:
− sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
−Here’s some documentation on ALSA http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/multimedia/alsa-utils.html1
−One command I use is '''speaker-test'''. This will cause your audio device to make tones, if everything is properly configured.
