1 The sound stopped working on my wife's computer about a week ago. I've
2 run every test I can think of and can't seem to track the problem
3 down. /etc/init.d/alsasound starts up fine. I can run alsamixer on her
4 computer just fine (on my computer, when ALSA isn't working I can't open
5 alsamixer); she has the volume control applet running on her panel, but
6 there simply is no sound. I looked over dmesg, but didn't notice
7 anything out of the ordinary. I'll post it here in case I missed
8 something.

262 She uses alsa-driver. From /etc/make.conf:
263
264 catherine ~ # cat /etc/make.conf | grep 'ALSA'
265 ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"
266
267
268 She's never had a problem with sound before. At first I thought maybe
269 her speakers had come unplugged, but sound works perfectly in Windows.
270 I know the ALSA packages got upgraded several days ago, but I'm pretty
271 sure she'd rebooted (and in the process restarted alsasound) and the
272 sound worked. I'm not sure though. She often boots into Windows to
273 play Yahoo games that don't work in Linux. Can anyone help?
