Hi Richard,
Thanks for staying with this! I put in an audio CD and started amarok, it r=
eported, Xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers
I had installed the Gnome-Alsamixer, but it shows no muting of any of the o=
utputs.
I ran the commands you suggested:=20
1. lsof | grep dsp - and nothing happened
I ran the command: cat /dev/urandom (since I couldn't runt he entire state=
ment) and I got a lot of garbled text in the command winow but no sound. T=
his stream of garbled stuff was terminated by "ctrl C" ..
Still no sound!
Jay
