Already tried that. Master and PCM are at 100%. Those are the ones that usually matter. AFAIK, the others that are of importance are sound hardware specific channels, such as: IEC958, IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA etc. In my case, the first one, IEC958, is set to 0% and it's not adjustable. Card: Intel ICH5 Chip: Analog Devices AD1985 View: [Playback] Capture All Item: IEC958 The second one is set to 100% and is adjustable. Card: Intel ICH5 Chip: Analog Devices AD1985 View: [Playback] Capture All Item: IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA I tried fiddling with /etc/modprobe.d/sound, no luck. Even played with KDE sound system through KControlCenter. Tried disabling sound system completely, tried OSS, autodetect, ALSA (the default). No luck. Every time I make any changes and click on apply, it starts(/restarts) the sound system. Then if I click on Test Sound, nothing happens and a moment later a window pops up saying artsd crashed with SIGSEGV. Hmmm, seg fault? Just now I deleted /etc/modprobe.d/sound and reconfigured sound with YaST. It shows sound configured now but still nothing audible. It did make a small scratch-like noise when I clicked on save settings. After that I changed KDE sound system to "autodetect" and clicked on Apply. It's showing a process bar that says "restarting sound system". The bar moves from 0% to 100% and then loops back to 0%... this is still going on. # ps -e | grep artsd 8027 ? 00:00:06 artsd 8029 ? 00:00:00 artsd This despite doing `killall artsd` as root before starting KControlCenter. And I made sure that killall certainly killed the running artsd with `ps -e | grep artsd`. Now I don't understand why KControlCenter is starting 2 instances of artsd. I ran `ps -e | grep artsd` as soon as I clicked on "Apply" in control center. And even when the process bar was at 15% (in the 0th loop), I could see 2 instances of artsd. Oh, setting sound system to ALSA and then applying the settings causes the process bar to appear only once instead of looping indefinitely, that makes some sense! :-( Please please someone help me out. I've been behind this thing for almost 15 days now...
