See the arrow above. Alsa automatically starts the first time with all volumes set to zero to avoid damaging components. Go into the menus and find the alsamixer application on the gui, or type Shift-Ctrl-F1 to get to a text console and log in. Then type alsamixer to set your sound. Both should store this for future use. You probably wiped out this configuration somehow inadvertently to cause your original problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
