Well, it was the volume level in the sound detection, and I answered no when I could not here any. (So 16.3 probably did fix it. Or modprobe.conf is messed up by another package that was doing a blacklist thing?) This has always been set at to low of a level to hear. Also, P/A is too low, needs to be at 87%, not 74%. I have noticed that many newbies get hung up on this (for the last 4 releases. The message is not worded correctly. First say, if no sound turn up the slider and try again. if your h/w has a sound device, say yes if you intend to use it, or no if you do not want to use it. DHW
system-config-soundcard was on live-200080404 but was not installed. DHW
Well, I don't see any alsa changes in the update... system-config-soundcard has been removed from the distro, sound is managed by pulse audio now.
The sound is wooking now becaise of (I'm guessing) 1. the P/A sound level was set higher or is not reset. 2. system-config-soundcard - not needed as sound is turned on by default. 3. updates to new auth system. As og 2008-04-17 it is working good. Darwin
