Ugh. Ok, I've tried running aumix and kmix, found nothing. Tried to run
alsamixer, and got a message saying "function snd_ctl_open failed for
default: No such file or directory." Whatever the heck *that's* supposed
to tell me.
Is there a package that I'm missing that I should install? Should I just
uninstall the also related RPMs outright?
Why did Mandrake have to change the sound from something that worked to
something that seems to be giving many people (judging from some of the
comments) problems? :-)
Any ideas on how to proceed next?
