    Hello, I am a new user to the list. I have a problem with my laptop's
    integrated soundcard. It is a SiS7012 (using driver i8x0).

    The soundcard worked perfectly for a year under Mandrake 9.1 first, with
    kernel 2.4.x and recently under Debian sid with kernel 2.6.2 and 2.6.3.

    One day I was trying to configure volume control keys for the laptop and when
    I started an X session as root while having another X session playing music,
    that music stopped as the other session loaded artsd (yes, I use KDE). I
    thought it was a conflict between those 2 artsd, but when I restarted artsd
    on the other session I still got no sound, though the mp3 player seemed to
    play. After some time trying to fix it, I installed Mandrake 10 on another
    partition just to give it a try, and surprise surprise, I had no sound
    although it was detected and configured. I had a brainstorm and plugged my
    headphones, getting as a result a very low sound. On the speakers I cannot
    hear anything.

    It may seem like a hardware problem, but it works ok under Windows XP (which
    is weird anyway :-D).

    So, I have a very low volume soundcard only under linux, but previously it
    worked ok. Now, does anyone know of any solution? I have tried on alsa-user
    mailing list but got no response, so I am quite desperate and I don't want to
    use Windows anymore (my mobile phone works under linux but not under Windows,
    that's really cool, though it's supposed to be auto-configured under XP :-D).

    Before anyone asks, I have set alsamixer's controls all full volume.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you on advance.

    Regards
