To get sound running on Mer requires the pulseaudio code to be developed and setup properly.

In the meantime you can use ALSA with certain apps but you need the Nokia osso-dsp-rx-44-modules

 echo "deb http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com/updates/diablo-2/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp_updates.list
 apt-get update
 apt-get install alsa-base tablet-sound
 rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp_updates.list
 apt-get update

The tablet needs to be halted and -then- booted, to allow the modules to load, then use alsa mixer to unmute the required channels.

 alsamixer -c 0

FOR Mer 0.13 USERS: There's a problem with osso-dsp-loader.

You need to download osso-dsp-loader from the old repo.

run in Xterm

 wget http://repository.mer.tspre.org/pool/contrib/o/osso-dsp-loader/osso-dsp-loader_0.5.6-4deblet3mer1_armel.deb
