Is it the system speaker or the sound card that doesn't work? For the pc speaker use the --withpcspkr option in your mkinitrd command. It's in the fadora howto.

I know from past expeariance, on my desktop, I had to unmute the sound on my computer, so I did amixer set Master 100 unmute, I did this, and I am not getting any sound. when ever I play try to play an mp3, some how, the system speaker is disabled. what I mean is when you are at a prompt, and if you hit backspace, you usually hear a beep, in my case this is not the case. when I rebookt the laptop wit works, but when I go and play a mp3, or try and configure the sound it doesn't work. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
