Yes there was only one sound card.

I first tried the Kubuntu desktop cd (the live one) and the sound worked 
- so I then did a fresh install using the Kubuntu alternate cd (I wanted 
to keep /home and wasn't sure if the desktop cd would let me) but still 
no sound :-(

I eventually found a solution (I don't know if it is *THE* solution as a 
new user account doesn't have any sound).
Anyway, I opened up System Settings > System Services and enabled 
'alsa-utils'. Now I have sound (actually I didn't until I enabled 'Full 
Duplex' under System Settings > Sound & Multimedia > Hardware).

For some strange reason under one account I can't get any volume control 
with Xmms !!??

Maybe there is a better solution........


Blessings,

Nigel

P.S. Should I file a bug report - no sound on a fresh install with 
SBlive 5.1 ?
