Oops, you're right. I am (almost) sure it had been hard masked some time in |
| 8 |
the past, I remember emerge --sync telling me all about it. Anyway, it seems |
| 9 |
that playsound now works fine and I have added -arts to my USE flags. |

While we're at it I might as well share this little sound problem/feature with |
| 12 |
you: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
When my laptop boots up the sound is always muted. To kick start it I need to |
| 15 |
either increase/decrease the volume (Master, or PCM) using alsamixer, or |
| 16 |
press the dedicated volume hardware buttons on the laptop keyboard. It can |
| 17 |
get more weird too: If I have launched an application that uses sound |
| 18 |
directly like e.g. Amarok, then in addition I need to increase the volume to |
| 19 |
100% to get sound from both speakers. Otherwise only the RH speaker works. |
| 20 |
Does this all make any sense to you? |
