Hi
Using GNOME, the volume control has greyed out all options for using a
"sound theme". The card is HDA NVidia using the ALSA mixer, but I am
unable to access any sound files for alerts, etc.
Is there an arcane trick to getting this sorted or is it a problem with
the sound card. Other audio files play fine (*.ogg *.mp3 and audio
CDs), but Kaffeine doesn't play sound either.
Any ideas/ suggestions?
If you're using ALSA, try 'alsaconf' as root.
What is that packaged as - there doesn't seem to be any candidate and I
already have alsamixergui alsa-tools and alsa-utils installed. Using
alsamixer doesn't even show up a device that I would associate with
system sound events aside from "beep".
