This afternoon, I bought a pair of ear plugs (the large flat kind that hook onto my ears). Plugged them in to test and they work perfectly. I'm listening to streamaudio.com as I type this. However, when I tried to watch a youtube.com video (my wife exercise dancing) just silence. She had the same video on to test and the sound was fine on her box. Then, I tried system-config-soundcard and with the volume set at 100%, just silence. Does this have to do with lower voltages coming from youtube.com and system-config-soundcard or is there some other explanation and a cure? TIA....
I would be surprised if voltage settings from a remote location could affect this. You are coming over the net, right? Your signal strength would be determined by your closest node and should be within pre-defined limits.
Progress: I shut the box down for awhile and then turned it back on. Now, there's sound from streamaudio.com and youtube.com I'm not sure why cycling power helped, but it did. Still no sound from system-config-soundcard when I try the sound test.
Have you right-clicked the speaker control on the desktop and opened the volume control panel? There's lots of inputs there that might be useful. I noticed in the past that for certain things I had to enable different DXS functions (I have a via chipset) and/or PCM input, etc.
