Example: Intel 7 series/C210 hidef rev04 [8086:1e20] http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/alsa-info-wwriver.txt Whether TW, or 42.3, probably at least as far back as 13.2, and whether Plasma, or TDE, or KDE3, system sounds never play in root sessions in a fresh installation, though perfectly fine in a normal user's session, until I can remember go to into volume settings in YaST2, where I find PCM set to 0, even after ensuring aplay in vtty and Konsole work, and Youtube in Firefox. Bringing PCM up to a sane level turns on system sounds. Why does the PCM default in YaST2 commonly(always?) start out at 0? Is this intentional? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
