Like I said previously, Main and PCM is unmuted. They are both at about 90%. Looking at gnome-alsamixer, the list of visible mixers and their mute statuses are (0=unmuted; 1=muted): Master - 0 Master M - 0 3DContr - ? 3DContr - ? PCM - 0 Surround - 1 Center - 1 LFE - 1 Line - 1 (Rec - 0) CD - 0 (Rec - 0) Mic - 0 (Rec - 1) Video - 0 (Rec - 0) Phone - 1 (Rec - 0) IEC958 P - ? PC Speak - 0 Aux - 1 (Rec - 0) Capture - ? (Rec - 1) Further, "Surround Down Mix" and "Duplicate Front" are ticked. What's funny here is that the name on the tab, i.e. the "title" of all these controls, is "Realtek ALC650F" which the gnome-volume-control app lists as the alternate device (OSS) i mentioned in the previous mail. Under gnome-alsamixer "Program Preferences" -> "Sound Card Names and Visibility" it's the only one listed and is ticked. Unchecking it changes nothing, and it reverts to being checked. Also, as previously stated, everything in gnome-sound-properties is set to use ALSA - this was done according to the blog i mentioned before (that disables pulseaudio, and uses alsa only): <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/">http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/alsa-instead-of-pulseaudio-for-ubuntu-810-intrepid-a-non-destructive-way/</a> .. so I assume it is the correct device. Any other ideas? - -------- Original Message -------- 8<     Damn (vent alert!..): It used to work. I thought we were past this     kind of problem. A single issue like this might kill the entire OS for     some people.     Luckily I'm a die hard ubuntero.     - --   Hi Péter, Don't laugh, but have you checked that it's not on mute? From what I can see in your mail, everything appears to be configured correctly, and no errors are reported (as you said). Firstly check in *gnome-sound-properties* and ensure that the correct devices are selected. you can also test the sound from there. If that fails, check your volumes in gnome-volume-control or alsamixer and make sure that nothing is on mute. who knows, it's worth a shot :-) cheers Louis - -- Péter Nel _______________________________________________ "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor security"            - Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org">http://enigmail.mozdev.org</a> iEYEARECAAYFAkltz9EACgkQVeyk97gakq69UACfYjbFM51GkcxHyCTx3LfimfTH RQoAnjVlMl7pBHIh9A06XLzCuXiuDsOF =b46u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </body> </html>
