Next time this happens, run speaker-test -t sine from the command line. If that stays silent, too, then you should check the volume settings with "alsamixer". (Watch out for muted "MM" controls and low levels.) > Moreover I can provide you with the output of a script I found at > alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Aadebug: [...] That looked normal, which is why I suspect the mixer settings. Maybe kmix or alsactl are restoring a previously-muted control to the same state after the next reboot. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
