Why are my additional posts to the thread being removed?

I have sound from anything over the web browser but nothing in KDE including Amarok does not produce any sound.

There was some minor database corruption earlier and the site was down for a couple of hours. Some non-critical posts were lost.

Hey stealth and Tex: I also have the same problem after the update yesterday, no system sound. I have a thread here http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,88162.0.html.

Things to try.

Open a terminal su to root and run alsaconf

Delete /home/your-name/.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc

Reboot

Right Click on the KMix (speaker icon) on the task bar -> Select Master Channel and pick the device your speakers are plugged into. Probably the Internal Analog Device unless you have your speaker plugged into your Video cards hdmi output hole.

Select The KMix (speaker icon) Click on Mixer button and turn up the volume.

Still nothing and my sound device does not show up in the mixer dialog box. It is completely blank now how do I get that to show back up?

I still get sound from the Internet but nothing from the desktop no sound from any audio files or CDs or DVDs in the drive.

Hey slealth: I just got my problem fixed, I posted in the other thread, hope this helps.
O K, got it fixed. it was the "audio setup" under the "Settings" tab of the Mixer tab, I had to change the "preferred" application to my CK804 card and not a digital side it was trying to use. I finally got a look at the popup I was getting and it made reference to "digital" sound, so I searched the board for "Digital Sound" and found a fix. Thanks everyone.

What does Hardware -> Multimedia -> Phonon say about your setup in Configure your Desktop?

I was wrong my speakers are plugged into the motherboard sound chip.

Sound is back but the controls in the mixer are still missing. Volume level control is available. I won't change the mixer controls so if I don't get them back no problem.

Thanks Tex!
