Comment 2 for bug 326296

Thank you a lot to have tried to solve my problem and excuse me for the
long delay of my answer. In fact, my sound problem is solved but I am
unable to describe exactly why. Here are some comments:

- it appears that my problem had nothing to do with the modem: I suspected
the modem because I had such problems when updating ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04

- when I checked the sound volume control, some settings were not correct;
in particular the PCM volume was set to 0. I think that the update from
8.04 to 8.10 did not leave the settings in the same state they where
before; so now the gnome-sound-recorder works correctly.

- I have also installed an up-to-date version of adobe-flash-player and
then other sound applications I uses work also correctly.
