Note that I have a preference for OpenVZ over KVM when it can be used... because it's easier to use. So, this page will tend to focus on OpenVZ solutions. | Note that I have a preference for OpenVZ over KVM when it can be used... because it's easier to use.

+ | The script `alsa-info.sh` is a very useful tool to gather the audio | ||
+ | device information. You can fetch the latest version from: | ||
+ | |||
+ | - http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh | ||
+ | |||
+ | Run this script as root, and it will gather the important information | ||
+ | such as the module lists, module parameters, proc file contents | ||
+ | including the codec proc files, mixer outputs and the control | ||
+ | elements. As default, it will store the information onto a web server | ||
+ | on alsa-project.org. But, if you send a bug report, it'd be better to | ||
+ | run with `--no-upload` option, and attach the generated file. | ||
