It's not a critical problem, obviously, because it took me months

appreciated.

Presuming that you are using GNOME, go into the menus:
Actually my normal desktop is Xfce (running Xfce 4.4b2) but I have
tried testing everything under both GNOME and KDE with the same results.
System -> Preferences -> Volume Control
Then click on the 'Switches' tab and make sure that the "External
Amplifier" check box is checked.
Done did that again just now and still no luck. The problem might be
HW related as this eMachines laptop is falling apart (it's only 1 year
and 8 months old!!). I wish I could afford a new laptop but living on a
fixed income (and being legally homeless to boot) makes things like food
and clothes a higher priority. :-(
Thanks for responding, though.
Joe: Still working on sound? You might want to explore low-latency
kernel through CCRMA. That would turn your beat-up laptop into
state-of-the-art audio/video recording machine.
ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ The mailing list is great for
helping solve sound glitches.
