I have been having problems with sound since installing 8.2, and would be really grateful for any help sorting it out. It all worked fine with 8.1, but since upgrading there's been nothing.
My soundcard is a VT8233 AC97, and according to everywhere I've looked, it is recognised, configured as snd-card-0, running and all the rest - but no sound comes out of any of the audio programs, though they all think they are playing away quite happily.
I've carefully studied Jim and Charlie's recent exchange but as a newbie I couldn't see anything which seemed relevant to my problem, likewise the Sound HOWTO. I've tried alsaconf etc and it claims to configure but, as said, no sound arrives.
I know it sounds too obvious but........ make sure your mixer has the volumes turned up? The program "alsamixergui" is pretty good. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
