Hello It seems people on the gmane.linux.alsa.devel have got this working: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/41206 To get any sound I have to run alsaconf first - if I try to adjust the volume while playing, it goes dead. This is still the situation but starting out: I got a high-pitched sound from my left speaker and crystal clear sound from my right (though not of very high volume). Adding: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack to /etc/modules.conf solved the high-pitch left speaker problem, but I still only had sound from my right speaker. Playing around, most notably installing alsamixergui and adjusting things, I now have sound only from my left speaker, which seems somewhat distorted compared to the sound I had first from the right. Does anyone know why I should lose my sound any time I try to adjust it and how I can control the sound generally? The operating system is Sabayon; preferred desktop Gnome. Any help would be much appreciated. Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
