I included all this so it'd answer as many questions as possible up
front. The files /root/scsconfig.log, /root/scsound.log,
and /root/scsrun.log were generated by the Soundcard Detection applet.
My sound just stopped working a few weeks ago. I haven't changed
anything in the config, apart from whatever changed due to recent
package updates via yum. I didn't notice that the sound stopped working
until last night when I tried to use it to do some grad school work.
Yikes!! I need some ideas on next steps to diagnose and fix the
problem. I see an error message in /root/scsrun.log. I looked at the
code and it appears to be an index number (which is 0, correct?).
Sorry if all this just repeats a recent discussion.
