no volume control
Hi everyone.
I've got a Compaq presario 700 with debian testing on.
Everything used to work pretty well, until a couple of days, when after an
update, I'm having some troubles with volume control. The thing is that
the sound card is correctly recognized and modules are brought up by
hotplug sound card is:
0000:00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686
AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation SoundMax Digital Integrated
Audio Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5
I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
I/O ports at 1854 [size=4]
I/O ports at 1850 [size=4]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
modules are ok, as you see below

howver, volume is set at minimum. I mean, when gnome starts, it starts the
sound system and I get the usual sounds. Then, if I try to lift the volume
up, I get no response from the buttons on the pc and if I try to start
gnome-volume-control I get an error message like
Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found.
Does anybody know what's going on?
Thanks a lot for advice
Alessandro
