You should/could check (even on KDE, it helps me a lot) :
* kmix
*
* gnome-volume-control
*
* gnome-control-center, icon sound
*
* gmixer
*
* pavucontrol
*
* alsamixer I have a
client whose sound has suddenly died, after running
well since the system was installed. (Six months?? A bit
more?) The obvious explanations are user error (clicked
something without realising) or dead hardware.
She is running Debian Wheezy with TDE 3.5.13.2 on an oldish
Dell laptop. Since I haven't got the laptop here, I haven't
got its specs. I cannot have the laptop to work on for the
moment, since she is using it a lot for now.
All suggestions or explanations welcomed,

Hi Lisi,
At first, I think that checking that all of the on/off check
boxes in Kmix is a good option. Then, some laptops has a
function keys, on the same keys as F1, F..., where you can press
FN+ (the mute button) to turn on or off the sound. On some
lappies, these keys are driven by the software (in linux), or on
older lappies, it is directly controlled by the hardware, which
is more multi-platform friendly. Also, does the laptop has a
hardware volume control, probably on the side of it?
Then, if none of these works, I'd test the computer with a
livecd, which is know to support the sound chip of this computer
and play a sound file.
Running ''alsaconf'' form Konsole, as a root user, is also good
for reconfiguring the sound card, but I am not sure if this
program is still included on linux distros of these years.
Good luck!
