Not always. I run on three different machines with three different
sound cards; one works, two don't. Yes, I installed libesd-alsa0 on all
three, and ran alsaconf on all three, and neither the regular mixer nor
gnome-alsamixer works on the two that don't.
I think it's a kernel-udev interaction problem: sound worked on 2.6.3
without udev, sound fails on any 2.6 with udev, sound fails on 2.6.5+ on
those machines with or without udev. Also, OSS doesn't seem to work
with udev. And gnome-volume-manager requires udev.
So there's a fundamental conflict between sound and gnome-volume-manager
on some systems, depending on which sound driver is used.
Happily, 2.6.9 has as one of its big changes a large ALSA update. Could
this possibly fix these problems?
