Hi,
I can't seem to get any noise from my laptop's sound card.
It worked OK with previous builds (circa b55) but is currently broken
(b66). I don't use audio apps much and have just noticed the problem
- I don't know when it stopped working.
I've installed the OSS drivers.

The output from the "Sun Device Detection Tool" is here:
http://www.s-mackie.demon.co.uk/tmp/SDDToolReport-0705061536.html
The volume is set to "100" via "ossmix". I've tried adjusting the
volume with "sdtaudiocontrol" and "gnome-volume-control" but still
have no sound/audio output.
Am I missing something obvious? Is there anything else to try?
The next idea/plan is a fresh install...
Thankyou,
Stuart.
