[K12OSN] No Sound in thin client

[Barry Cisna]

Hi Jean,

The key to making sound work is, at bootup,on the client you should
see"Accepting connections on port 16001",( after all the usb detected
lines). This is the kicker that tells you,your sound card has initialized
correctly.If you get this you will get sound from the given client. If you
do not see this you will never get sound on the client.
Your post is very vague. If you give better troubleshooting details,
You'll get better/ quicker resolves. The " No volume elements",is common
but there is a way to resolve this too:

Are you using PCI card/onboard chip on this client? if it is an old ISA
soundcard,you have to manually enter in the lts.conf file an entry for
this client machine,to initialize the soundcard.

Make sure you do
" chmod -c 755 /opt/ltsp/i386/dev/dsp  "
 " chmod -c 755 /opt/ltsp/i386/dev/mixer " , without quotes,from a
terminal as root. then reboot client.

Also change this on FC5.

Hope this helps.
