NO sound from front speakers


DOA

Edit: With Kmix open, when I hover the mouse over the speaker icon in the panel, is displays a label saying "Volume 31%" even though the volume slider is all the way to the top. I am thinking this is my problem but don't know where to set it to 100%.
Well known KDE bug (already reported by many). Don't use kmix. Use aumix to get all sound settings to 100%.

U should not comment the line

#options bttv radio=0 card=34 gbuffers=4

because it has to do with ur brooktree tv card, not ur on-board sound card.

Anyway, u r currently using the driver snd-intel8x0. Why not try the other driver i810_audio ?

I tried both drivers and still get the same thing. The volume is very low and I have set everything in Aumix to 100%.
Does this mean the volume is low even though ur speaker volume is at maximum ?

The version of ALSA driver that comes with LM9.1 is a little old (0.9rc8). Current ALSA driver version is 0.9.3a but I am not sure if installing that will improve things at all.

I will try installing the latest ALSA drivers. The weird thing is when I first boot up, Aumix will be Muted (under the menu) even though everything shows up as 100%. Upon opening Kmix, I find that the 3D Surround is turned off as well. I have to manually turn on my sound each time. Is this another bug?
