I'm asking because there are controls that are not at 100%: Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Mono: Playback 52 [81%] [-12.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0 Front Left: Playback 52 [81%] [-12.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 52 [81%] [-12.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0 Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-64.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-64.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Which mixer are you using? Do all these controls appear there? If not, try alsamixer. Regards, Clemens

After your comment, I reopened alsamixer and raised the levels in there to 100%. As you noted, somehow the speaker had gone down to 0. But still no sound. Thanks. I reran the info, just so no confusion. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=703d8850d292546254b257ff8a2654084f2867da -- Only trust pipe-smoking penguins.

I downloaded the daily snapshot from the alsa site and was able to get sound working on the internal card. I configured for hda-intel. Curiously alsaconf now finds no cards to probe. I will have to reconfigure now to get my Bose speakers back as an option as well. Any suggestions on hot to get alsaconf back functioning? Out of curiosity I had tried another distro (Ubuntu) and did not have sound using it either. Scott -- Only trust pipe-smoking penguins.

Don't give any options to the configure script. Regards, Clemens |
