Howdy folks. Here's another one with no sound after a 3.0.1 to 4
upgrade. A few things:
1) I have no confirmation I am running 4.0.1 vs 4.0. When I boot it says
4.0 Orion, but running yum upgrade with multiple mirrors does not yield
any further available upgrades. Any idea how I can easily tell if I am
using 4.0 or 4.0.1?
2) My kernel was still 2.4.x. I manually upgraded it to 2.6.10-1.ydl.1
and that went well.
3) I have no sound, other than this loud "BEEP" every time I get a new
email in Thunderbird
4) In Gnome, going to System Tools->Sound Card Detection works as I can
hear the lovely guitar strum
5) Following the instructions at
http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/solutions/ydl_4.0/audio.shtml
tells me to open a shell, su - and this is what i get:
> [root at localhost root]# alsamixer
>
> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
So, uh, help?
Thanks!
