Paul - I have a sound problem too and followed what you provided below. Still no sound. But I do have sound when I bring up RealPlayer and other KDE sound effects. But when I put in a CD to play music, there is no sound. Although the cdplayer does come up and I see the music that it is playing but no sound. Also, in RealPlayer, the wecome message is loud and clear and there was an underwater scene that works, which someone said to try. So, while there is sound on my system there really isn't for all those things you want to listen to?? Anythought anyone...
