ALSA, the default sound subsystem of kernel 2.6+, has *always* muted sound after installation. You must fire up a mixer and adjust the volume levels to your liking. I guess FC has some hooks into the mixer or adjusts the registers directly when you run Soundcard Detection. I suppose that the original ALSA developer(s) lived in an apartment with thin walls and wanted to ensure the landlord would remain calm :-) -- Jack Bowling mailto: jbinpg@xxxxxxx
