Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend. Today the sound stopped working in linux. I get no sounds when playing a CD, no sounds in Quake 3, nothing, not even the little welcome sound when KDE starts. Sound works fine in Windows. I made no changes since the last time it worked. I dual boot Win xp and mandrake 8.1 on a P4 with 256 megs of ram. Any ideas? Please take your time as I can't work on this until returning home from work Monday evening. Another question. How do I uninstall a program that was not installed using RPM? Is is as simple as just deleting the directory it was installed into? Thanks in advance. Eric Gilliland J.
