Sadly, everything is unmuted. I've tried various combinations too, as the sound card on the MB is potentially one of those 6-channel deals. -Don
Yuck. Do you have multiple 'outs'? Does the headphone or other jack produce sound? I'm shooting in the dark - your 'lsmod | grep snd' looks OK to me. FWIW, my relevant modprobe line appear thusly (diff't soundcard though): alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-hda-intel index=0 remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin /modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel Not much help - maybe someone else has ideas...
