After doing a yum update, the sound stopped working! Whenever I restart Linux, the speaker is automatically muted, and even if I unmute it, there's no sound. When I test the sound card, it plays sound just fine, but sound events don't play, and CD's don't play. I strongly suspect when yum updated the ALSA drivers something went haywire. Playing around with the open volume controls does not seem to work, and when I try to restart the sound server (artsd), I get the following error message: "Error: could not initialize sound driver - default can't be opened for playback (invalid argument)" Any idea what's going on here? Please help! Thanks, Q. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/attachments/20051127/b17d189c/attachment.htm
