LOL. I just reached the opposite conclusion today... I hadn't been able to
figure out why I got no sound since some update in breezy. Today I
discovered that _my_ sound card _requires_ "external amplifier" set ON. I
still can't get notifications, but who wants computers that make
noises. :-) It'll play my CDs and DVDs now, and that's good enough.
