This all sounds VERY familiar... just as an experiment, log in as your regular user (the one with no sound). Start up YAST, and go to the User admin. Add your user to the Audio group and save the changes. Log out and log back in again. If you now have sound, then this is a resurfacing of a problem I and others had with 10.2. Adding your user to the Audio group is not the solution to the problem... it is only a workaround. If you don't have sound, go back into YAST and remove the audio group from your user (just so things are back to the way they were before you experimented) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
