OK, I'm very sorry to say I'm having a difficult time understanding this. So let me first ask if what I've figured out is what you're actually saying: 1. Your sound device is AC97/I82801, and you're using the kernel ALSA drivers to run it, but you did not have (at the time) any of the additional packages installed (such as alsa-utils). 2. Sound worked correctly, but mixer levels were not stored on shutdown or restored on startup (because you didn't have alsa-utils installed, which provides a script to do this). 3. You then installed alsa-utils, but now your sound doesn't work..... this is where I get a bit confused.... there are no errors or exceptions, but you do not hear any sound. The equalizer (*which* equalizer??) works, but "sound don't go out" (means, you don't actually hear anything?) > > Anyone already passed for this problem? > > Remembering : my user it's on audio group: audio:!:18:habutre > my sound device has this permissions: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 > Jan 16 21:58 /dev/sound/dsp > my sound mixing it's: esound > my alsa-utils version: 1.0.10 This all looks fine (except for maybe esound, but that's a choice and doesn't necessarily seem to have a bearing on this problem). I think the first thing I'd want to know is: have you actually run alsamixer to set your mixer levels; maybe they're all still muted?; The second thing I'd want to know is: can you hear anything if you turn off esd (esound) or set gnome/esd to use ALSA (never quite figured out how to do that, so I just turned esd off)? Sorry not to be more help, but I'm not sure you've given all the information needed to troubleshoot this (since I'm not sure I understand what the problem actually is).
