[gobolinux-users] bemoaning the lack of sound

[Daniele Maccari]

I have and integrated Intel HDA chipset and with ALSA 1.0.14 (either 
kernel based or standalone) I can't hear any output from my soundcard. 
It wasn't even recognized correctly. Upgrading to 1.0.15 solved the 
problem, but I can't really say what've changed. To be sure I've also 
removed all the in-kernel sound feature (except for the basic support, 
of course), to avoid conflicts.

The problem is now that KDE cut off some ogg files, this I'm forced to 
use the wav login sound, for example. I think it is a KDE related 
problem, but to find out why it does so, that's another story :D

Bye.
