[K12OSN] Sound Issues

[Barry Solof]

Hi Gideon,

Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.

The package has been installed successfully and the lts.conf has been 
modified for "snd-cs4236".

The terminal now loads the new drivers when booting and you can hear the 
speakers click "on" as the drivers load.  Yet there still isn't any 
sound in Gnome.  When attempting to run the volume control there is this 
error message: "no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found".

A google search has not helped with a fix.  Do you have any ideas where 
to start looking for clues?

Many thanks,
Barry
