[tvideovi]

I spent a few hours today troubleshooting and after much reading and trial and effort found a combination of:

apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-oss libasound2

and coding the following in ~/.asoundrc

defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.ctl.card 1

it worked with wav files and in the browser <video> tag

This is the culmination of a lot of reading and testing so not sure if the first step is required but what harm. If in doubt I recommend the ~/.asoundrc file change first.

Now just the launch into terminal or xserver and all is good...any ideas on this?????
