when I go into YAST / sound .... and try to choose Other/volume control ... nothing happens (also, the other Other choices do the same, which is to say the screen and menu options are not altered at all. Choosing any of them appears to have no effect at all). Also, when I click "edit" on the sound card, the button behave just as if I clicked "finish": the sound control applet closes. > >> > > > > Well I have sound working again, as I said in my second post ... > > probably alsaconf does something similar to what yast does, as it did > > a test sound for me, too. > > > > The problem now, is the volume thingy.

It detects and shows me my sound card, then asks if it should modify conf files, and then tells me it is done, but that it will run a test sound. Thats it. I suppose I can just not worry about the volume thingy, since my hard buttons work (and they display a little icon showing a slider moving). But, sound (as many other things so far in linux) seems magical and uncertain and a little flakey, and I would like to learn better how everything connects. So it would be good to be able to hunt down what the deal is, with this little volume-thingy functionality, "just because".
