OK, I think I must be a little closer but still nothing audible.
After installing alsa-utils and running alsaconf, /dev/sndstat gives:
------------------------------------------------------------
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.8 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux mnr 2.6.11-1-k7 #1 Mon Jun 20 21:26:23 MDT 2005 i686
Config options: 0
Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation
Card config:
VIA 8237 with unknown codec at 0xeb00, irq 193
Audio devices:
0: VIA 8237 (DUPLEX)
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Timers:
7: system timer
Mixers:
0: VIA Technologies id 70
------------------------------------------------------------
I removed the volume control from the gnome panel and re-added it. None
of the devices are muted. xmms seems to be happily playing (with the
libALSA.so output) but still no sound. I've enabled sound events but
when I click 'play sound' I get nothing. xine plays the video but no
audio. I've tried several speakers so I don't think it's hardware.
What should I check now? Do I need to restart/reboot?
