Volume controls?

If you have system beeps and startup sounds then you sound is working,
I
am wondering if you have something muted.

Try running alsaconf as root from a console to see if that helps.

I still think, that it has something to do with Driver-Status for

Any other ideas?

IIRC the midi test does not work for a lot of the alsa drivers, it
does
not work here for either of my 2 soundcards ( SB/Live & onboard
AC`97 ) which are activated at boot as I use them both at the same
time, for midi I have to use a software synth.

This however will not affect the playing of CD`s or listening to the
radio or TV.

Now let me go and check something here, I think it could be down to
the
fact that the i810 is loading twice and is giving you 2 souncards, I
have seen some reports about the ICH5 chipset somewhere, I think I
came
across this problem also and hacked it to death to get rid of it, I
cannot remember exactly what I did now.


What machine/hardware are you running this on, is it a laptop?

Have you got an onboard modem?

Its an ordinary Desktop (and there is no modem at all). But the
Networkcard is integrated on the motherboard.

Fact is, that i cant hear anything in any "audio-applikation" (eg.
kaffeine, kdetv, kradio .....). And i dont think that there is
something
muted (kmix says so). Isn't there something like an
"install-verification" or so?

best regards

Try another mixer, maybe alsamixer from the console or gamix or kamix,

sometimes the actual volume slider is not built into some volume
controllers and others will show all the extras.

Your sound is obviously working as you have system sounds therefore Istill reckon that a mixer is muted somewhere.
