Ladies and Gentlemen: 1. My volume control does not work. 2. When I try to use the volume control applet in my panel, its remains at zero. When I try to select it from the application menu, it gives me the error that there are no mixer elements and/or devices found. 3. I use the sound card detector to show that I have a sound card, and my sound card is displayed. 4. Also my rhythmbox is not working either. It tell me that I need to check the installation about my gnome-vfs source. 5. I would really appreciate any help about this issue. Very Respectfully, Piko A. Neal, Jr -- Piko Neal <pakole@xxxxxxx>
