Try accepting what it suggests, then use alsactl to initialise your cards and see what you get. You can also check with alsamixer that they are not muted. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

When I rebooted later on sound worked fine for playback and capture. I tried that, and I thought it hadn't worked because when I rebooted I still had no sound. But then, when I decided to reboot again with the old kernel to see if I'd now lost my working sound device, I heard the KDE shutdown bong. So I've rebooted the new kernel and all is well. Meanwhile I had fiddled with alsactl, issuing various commands blindly. Maybe that's what fixed it. Many thanks for your help Mick. -- Regards, Peter

[gentoo-user] kmix/sound broken
kmix will not run. The icon just bounces and then terminates. Previously, installed kde4 using kde-meta. Rebuilding kde-meta does not go into all of the individual packages. I've never had trouble with kmix before, so any guidance as to what package(s) to rebuild, would be appreciated. Rebuilding kmix alone did not solve the problem... (emerge -1Dv kmix) Ideas or suggestions are most welcome. The machine runs an identical kernel as another machine (actually just about everything is identical, particularly the hardware) and kmix is fine on that machine. Sound is also broken on the system where kmix is broken. ideas? James
