But for what it's worth, I'm having an ongoing problem with sound on my laptop running 9.1pro. For some reason, alsa keeps turning off the External Amplifier setting on every boot, even though I've tried using the alsa-record command from the command line.
Do you have both kmix and kamix installed. IIRC, there was a problem with 9.1 and both installed. There is a workaround, but it is easiest to uninstall kmix, which fixes it. It has been a while, you might want to search the archives.
Both kmix and kamix show up in my KDE menu, and both can be run. But YAST only shows kamix. Odd. Just for the heck of it, I tried uninstalling kamix, but it didn't do any good. I did find that using 'alsactl restore' after a reboot would bring back my External Amp, so 'alsactl store' is definitely recording my settings somewhere. But something, maybe in KDE, is apparently always forcing the EA off on boot. Maybe the easiest way to handle this is to write a script that gets run on every boot (or login?) to do the 'alsactl restore' command. Any thougts?
