No sound: ATI AC97 using alsa

Hi all..

My sound just does not work at all.. I've installed alsa-lib and alsa-utils. The computer is a FujitsuSiemens Amilo A1650G Laptop.

Re: No sound: ATI AC97 using alsa

rayjgu, thanks for your reply and your patience! I'm so dumb, I can't believe it: All channels were muted, because in missinterpreted the icons in kmix... Now everything works fine.

I'm really sorry for wasting your time..
