problem with orca and sound after installation

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

In a terminal or the console try the following:

amixer set Master 29 on
amixer set PCM 31 on

On my sblive, those commands set master to 29 and unmute it.  The second
command does the same for the PCM device.  Once you have sound working
again, you might want to go to the sounds preferences and make sure your
desktop sounds are enabled.

Hope this helps.
