Fix Intrepid sound

[Karl Larsen]

    If you have sound when you first turned on your Intrepid but then 
after one or more re-boots your sound failed, this will fix that 
problem. It was sent to me by Nigel Henry in France.

    There is a device you can work with called the AlsaMixer which these 
days you can reach by opening a terminal window. In this type alsamixer. 
If you see just one adjustment then pulse audio is on and working.

    Now turn off AlsaMixer and do this by pressing the esc key. Now 
bring it back up using this: alsamixer -D hw:0 which will show all your 
AlsaMixer settings. My laptop has 7 adjustments but the critical one is 
called PCM and it was, for some reason set at zero. This was why my 
sound quit. I set it back to 90 and now my sound is again normal.

    Turn off the AlsaMixer with esc and your done. Good reading is the 
man pages for AlsaMixer.
