Sound not working in 2010.1 kde - solved thanks

[silverbirch]

Hi all - desk top dual boot Win XP and Pclos 2010.1 kde

AMD Athlon 2000xp, runs as 1.6, 1 Gb memory, VIA 8235 VIA1612A (VIA8235) sound [on board].

When I first installed Pclos 2010 I popped in a music CD and it played, then I upgraded via synaptic to 2010.1 and now have no sound.

I went into PCC and ran the config tool, but no change, and now I've run the trouble shooting commands, but don't know what to do about them, or what they mean.  Sound works fine when I boot into Windows.  It seems as though I have the correct driver, but unable to be sure what the rest of the output means.  Apologies for the long post!

I'm not seeing where you've run alsaconf as root.

For my machine I had to Show Mixer Window, click Settings and Configure channels and then drag the Speaker from the Available channels to the Visible channels.

Once I'd done that I had sound

Regards

I simply ran the trouble shooting script as per PCC ....  currently in Win cos some things still not sorted in Pclos - but hopefully will be back itnot Pclos as day to day soon

Ran that and it told me all good to go. And now it works - thanks heaps.

For some reason this doesn't hold, and I lose sound after rebooting, and have to run alsaconf again.  Any ideas appreciated.  Thanks

I have my sessions set to Restore previous session on login, and have never had to rerun alsaconf. You might want to try that.

That's done it!  Great thanks
