Comment 171 for bug 318942

Damn it, it worked! I wrote that last message before testing Thomas B's suggestion because I've been trying for about two months to get the damn speakers to work and nothing has ever worked, and I was convinced that this would be no exception. I almost had a heart attack when I heard sound coming out of the speakers!

Let me reiterate: I have to *create* the file "alsabase" (without the ".conf") to get the speakers to work. I then had to go to the mixer and activate and unmute the control called "surround" It's also worth pointing out that the mixer is significantly different than it was before I created "alsabase"

Fantastic! Thanks Thomas!
