First, I *do* have sound. Realplayer works, and system-config-soundcard
properly detects the card (Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M)
AC'97 Audio Controller on my Thinkpad T41), and loads what look like the
right modules:
$lsmod
...
snd_intel8x0m 19524 0
snd_intel8x0 35776 2
snd_ac97_codec 74872 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 55072 1
snd_mixer_oss 19712 2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 111752 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 36356 1 snd_pcm
snd 62564 7 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 11744 3 snd
snd_page_alloc 9860 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
...
Second, this all worked a day or so ago.
But today, my GNOME panel volume control drops back to zero whenever I try
to move it. And opening the mixer app produces an error: "Sorry, no mixer
elements and/or devices found." (The mic volume control that I added to
the panel still appears functional--i.e., it stays where I put it.)
Reinstalling the volume control applet doesn't have any effect.
All I did that I know of was reboot. Rebooting again did not solve the
problem.
Any idea where to look for what broke?
TIA.
