I followed the gentoo guide and did make progress. >From the main (foot) menu, system --> preference --> sound produces a dialog box with three tabs. The first tab is devices. They are all set to autodetect and when I press test on the three playback devices, I do hear sound. The second tab is sounds. When I click on any of the "Play" boxes *no* sound is produced. The corresponding files are present and I am in the audio group. The machine is a dell optiplex 845. Lspci shows 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) I have the following kernel options set # # Sound # CONFIG_SOUND=m # # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture # CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m # # PCI devices # CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ATIHDMI=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=y Any advice/help would be appreciated thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
