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?
