I ran "alsaconf" on my recently-updated Debian 3.1r1.

It worked like a charm and ended with the following messages:

Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...


===============================================================================

 Now ALSA is ready to use.
 For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

 Have a lot of fun!

However when checking the output of a .wav file by running the "play"
command from a console, I get a deafening silence. "alsamixer" says the
the "playback master" is set at 74.
What have I missed?  Prior to the update (when using the Sarge
pre-release) sound worked OK.

What about the  PCM channel? By default with ALSA it is muted
and with 0 volume. You need to unmute and raise its volume
using alsamixer.


I've always wondered what genius thought that default setting was a good idea......
