Sound problems in recent Linux Distributions [SOLVED]

Post by yaakov »

I am a happy FitPC2 user for over two years. When I installed Debian Linux 6.0 (squeeze) back then, sound recording and playback worked out-of the-box.

Now, I upgraded to the recent Debian/testing (jessie) distribution and find that sound doesn't work: At best, playback is "choppy" and recording doesn't work at all. I tried recent Mint and Ubuntu distributions and found the same problems there --- not too surprising as both Mint and Ubuntu are built on top of Debian.

Is there any fix for these problems --- can I still use my FitPC2 with a modern linux distribution and play/record sound correctly?

Any suggestions?
