Hi Guys, Gals and all the others. I am having problems hearing sound. YaST has detected my soundcard and it seems to be working. However I have to turn up the volume to full to barely hear the sound. I mean if there is any noise in the background I cant hear anything. Now when I log in as a 'normal' user I cannot seem to find the KMixer icon in the system tray area. When I log in as root it is there(the little speaker icon). I checked that the device is not muted and turned the volume up to full. I also turned up the volume on the hardware(everything is 100% full blast). Should I run the ALSAConf and see if that sort it out? It is a onboard soundcard and I think it might be detected incorrectly. Any ideas?
