Bug Description

I tried both daily live cd and fresh install dated 18-4 and I have no sound on my dell dimension 9100. It was working OK in flight6.
The sound chip is STAC 92XX. I can provide more details if needed.

OK, I figured out what was wrong, I have sound now. Going to the volume control panel, in the preferences I choose to display all controls (It initially had only "PCM" and "line in as output" ticked). Then I saw that "sourround", "center" and "LFE" were muted. It turned out that unmuting surround gave me sound back!
I guess the main sound channel should be "front" (which was not muted). So it seems there is a little error in configuration for this sound chip.

I am closing this bug since it appears to have been resolved for you. Whether surround should not affect the output is a different question, but since unmuting it works, I suppose this is not a bug in the true sense. Please reopen this report if you feel otherwise.
