yesterday everything was ok. the sound worked. Today it says:
"please check that:
your soundcard is configurated properly
you have the correct output plugin selected
no other program is blocking the soundcard"
on windows it works.
yesterday i was playing a little with the login options and different session types (IceWM, TWM) and the 'start new session' thing. i somehow i managed to mess things up a bit and turn off all the grafical sessions (F6, F7, F8 in this case), so that there was only a dash flashing...
than i pressed ctrl+alt+F2, typed 'shutdown now', didn't seem to work, typed 'halt', computer turn off.
i think come .config file got overwritten or something... is there a way to fix it? Thanks in advance. (don't really feeling like reinstalling it all again... for the 7th time...)  |

Hi,
make sure that you have selected an ouput that is not
being used by another program. I don't know what software you
were/are trying to use, but check the preferences and try a diferent
output like aRts or OSS.
If your soundcard its not detected at all, try alsaconf as piper
says and if that doesn't work, update your kernel if you haven't. |

brechacik,
for quite a while now the old "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" does not work anymore (obsoleted in kernel?).
Could you please report, which packages (programs) are affected, I might know the answers if it is not hardware related or alsaconf did not fix it.
It would also be great to leave a quick note if something has worked.

Thanx people, alsaconf fixed it. 
(hubi: it was more like general silence) |

Alsaconf can help in most cases when a soundcard goes astray and needs a nudge to get working again  |
