I found some new infos: 1. At installation time one of the needed libs is not available for sound configuration (it is not on the install medium, only on ftp tree). So when I try to configure sound in the installation summary the configuration ends with an error (see bugzilla). But this can't be the reason because it's working on my desktop machine where I used the same installation medium. 2. lspci say that there are 2 sound devices available: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corp 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 02:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corp High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) But I may better wait for Alpha 2 - after the latest updates somehow my whole installation is going down the drain: - opening a console window and typing 'mc' leads to a freeze of the complete system freeze (not even SysReq keys working) - reproducible. - opening vlc, choosing "File - Open file" leads to a crash of vlc - reproducible - clicking on starter icons in the task bar (like Firefox) does not start anything (only occasional, after logout/login it works again. - installing the proprietary nvidia driver works, splash screen shows the beta driver - after latest update I get the message that there is no proprietary driver available, starting with free driver. So I guess it makes not much sense to go on hunting for the cause of "no sound" before Alpha 2 is out. Hopefully these problems will be gone because this is the machine I will have to use at our stand in Chemnitz in 2 weeks to demonstrate mageia! :( -- wobo
