The files /root/scsconfig.log, /root/scsound.log, and /root/scsrun.log were generated by the Soundcard Detection applet. My sound just stopped working a few weeks ago. I haven't changed anything in the config, apart from whatever changed due to recent package updates via yum. I didn't notice that the sound stopped working until last night when I tried to use it to do some grad school work. Yikes!! I need some ideas on next steps to diagnose and fix the problem. I see an error message in /root/scsrun.log. I looked at the code and it appears to be an index number (which is 0, correct?). Sorry if all this just repeats a recent discussion. -- Mark C.
