I am pclinuxos on my laptop and I can't get the media buttons to work.  In windows I had to install the dell drivers to get them to work.  These buttons are the only thing I can't to work under pclinuxos, they worked when I had ubuntu install but I prefer pclinux kde environment.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You can do this with alsaplayer <sound file> Also you may want to run ALSAmixer to check the mute and levels of the master and PCM devices. alsamixer When in the program use left and right arrows to move from channel to channel, Use up and down to adjust the volume. Look at the symbols at the bottom of the mixer sliders. OO means unmuted MM means muted, you can toggle this with the "M" key Why I recommend this method to check audio is that both KDE and GNOME us a sound server daemon as a middle man between them and the Unix kernel interfaces. So if the daemon is miss behaving then you get no sound. Hope that helped ---- Shawn L. Djernes shawn at djernes.org |

Anyway, I'm running Debian Etch, and I'm having a problem with my sound. Usually, when I try to play music, or a program plays a sound, I get a message box that says something like 'Cannot open sound server; will continue using null output device.' I'm new enough to linux that I have NO experience with sound, so if someone could help out, that'd be great. If I run /*lspci*/, I get this: *russ
