There is a program called alsactl in that package that allows you to store sound device settings (as root), and it says in the man page that it puts them in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. So you should be able to delete that file and alsa should then revert to a default configuration and be settable. If it then works, you can use alsactl to save the working configuration. I'm not convinced this will work, since it doesn't sound like you altered that file from when it was working. But maybe something else changed it. amixer is also in that package, lower level than alsamixer, to look at all the settings. And you could try running the alsa-info.sh program from the alsa web site, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page to get a printout in prettier format than amixer. If the above don't yield a solution to your problem, is it possible to check the state file on the F15 live, and somehow get a copy of that into your current installed OS? Or run amixer or alsa-info.sh and look at a diff with your current system. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
