That should do it.
Not always. I run on three different machines with three different sound cards; one works, two don't. Yes, I installed libesd-alsa0 on all three, and ran alsaconf on all three, and neither the regular mixer nor gnome-alsamixer works on the two that don't. I think it's a kernel-udev interaction problem: sound worked on 2.6.3 without udev, sound fails on any 2.6 with udev, sound fails on 2.6.5+ on those machines with or without udev. Also, OSS doesn't seem to work with udev. And gnome-volume-manager requires udev. So there's a fundamental conflict between sound and gnome-volume-manager on some systems, depending on which sound driver is used. Happily, 2.6.9 has as one of its big changes a large ALSA update. Could this possibly fix these problems? Cheers, -Adam P.
