Subject: Re: Alsa Sound Problem. hi Gilboa, i have to use FC1 cos it is mandatory for a course i am taking this semester. actually i dont use FC1 a lot unless a homework or a project given. but hearing no sound when FC1 starts or shuts down make me sick :p and also cant watch any video or listen to any music when using FC1:( thats why struggling to fix this problem. If you can open any sound panel, control, try to access your DAC. I think FC3 and 4 have the DAC muted by default which affects my laptop and many others. Stephen
