Second, check your mixer settings to determine if your volume levels are appropriate. A great quick CLI app for this is alsamixer (media-sound/alsa-utils) - first start the alsasound service (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound start), then run alsamixer - set your volumes to about 80%, and unmute all channels (use the 'm' key to toggle mute), then restart the alsasound service to save your volume levels (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart), then add the alsasound service to your boot runlevel (sudo rc-update add alsasound boot). This will set it up to restore these volume levels on every startup (it will also save your *current* volume levels on every shutdown, so don't mute, shutdown, and expect to be unmuted after starting back up). Now, double-check that PulseAudio is not running (ps -elf | grep -i pulse), and kill it if it is. Then run: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav If you hear sound - great, ALSA and your sound HW are working, and Flash audio will almost certainly start magically working. If not, please post the output of: aplay -l aplay -L (both of those are L, first one lower case, second upper) HTH- James --001636b2bc83e8baeb0477a65cfa Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

First off - do you have PulseAudio run= ning? If so, for HW/ALSA testing purposes, shut it down. Second, check your= mixer settings to determine if your volume levels are appropriate. A great= quick CLI app for this is alsamixer (media-sound/alsa-utils) - first start= the alsasound service (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound start), then run alsamix= er - set your volumes to about 80%, and unmute all channels (use the 'm= ' key to toggle mute), then restart the alsasound service to save your = volume levels (sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart), then add the alsasound = service to your boot runlevel (sudo rc-update add alsasound boot). This wil= l set it up to restore these volume levels on every startup (it will also s= ave your *current* volume levels on every shutdown, so don't mute, shut= down, and expect to be unmuted after starting back up).

Now, double-check that PulseAudio is not running (ps -e= lf | grep -i pulse), and kill it if it is.

Then ru= n:

aplay=A0/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav=

If you hear sound - great, ALSA and your sound HW are w= orking, and Flash audio will almost certainly start magically working. If n= ot, please post the output of:

aplay -l
aplay -L

(both of those are L, first one lower cas= e, second upper)
