Hi Kevin.

What is the make and model of your Laptop/PC?

Can you post a bit of output as below.

cat /proc/asound/cards
lsmod | grep snd
lspci    (just the bit for the sound card)

Open alsamixer as user in Konsole, and check that nothing is muted (M key 
toggles the mute/unmute), and that sliders are not at zero. Controls like 
Master, PCM, and Front are the main ones you need to look at. Also scroll 
along the list with the right arrow key, and push the CD one up if it exists.

Open Kmix as well, and check for anything muted, because sometimes it messes 
with settings already set in Alsamixer. Open Kmix's settings > configure 
Kmix, and uncheck the load volumes at login box, if it's checked.

That's probably enough for the moment.

Nigel.
