    I didn't expect much but it is quite a shock to have no sound at 
all. I have been using Linux a long while and never had just this 
problem except on Red Hat 9 when they first played with pulseaudio. then 
you could just turn off the offending software.

    As for help there has been a lot so far. I have really tried to find 
a fix but failed.

    What is your problem?
