52 This probably won't make any sense, but for some reason I had good clear
53 sound for a few minutes today. Since I've been working on other things
54 and audio is a luxury for me I haven't been trying to get it to work
55 lately. However, this afternoon I plugged in the speaker and tried a
56 wave file and it played great. Then, since the machine has been running
57 a for a while and I've done updates recently, I rebooted to have a clean
58 start. I though it might get rid of the bouncing vertical scrollbar,
59 but that's another issue. I was all set to play music and videos, but
60 after the reboot the audio wasn't working anymore. Something somewhere
61 got the audio working only for it to stop after a reboot. I checked
62 alsasound and it's running. Any ideas?
