Hello again everyone, I messaged this morning saying that my laptop's sound was not working after reinstalling Mandrake, even though it worked perfectly in the previous installation. In the former install, I was runnning just the kernel 2.2.17, even though there was a 2.2.19 upgrade available. I probably also did the alsa sound driver upgrade, though I do not remember exactly. In the new install, I went ahead and did the upgrade. Now, on my home PC, I also did the upgrade to kernel 2.2.19 plus the alsa sound driver upgrade. Guess what? NO SOUND!! So it would seem that my problems with sound are not due to a mis-configuration, but to a problem with the rpms which I installed. Has anyone else run into this problem? Are the Mandrake techs who frequent this list aware of the problem? And will there be a fix available soon? I would really like to get my sound back, on *both* PCs.
