Re: [TCLUG:4004] my sound died

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

I figured out what the problem is: When I turned off the sound for the sin
wave icon in wmmixer, that turned off the sound for everything but audio
cd's. (but it did get rid of the static). I guess I'll leave that volume
low, or just turn it off when listening to cd's.

P.S. lsof-4.34 doesn't work with the new kernel -- do you know of a
version that does?

[root@pclueyb rpm]# /usr/sbin/lsof
lsof: WARNING: compiled for Linux release 2.0.34; this is 2.2.0-pre6.
lsof: kernel symbol address mismatch: get_options
      get_kernel_syms() value is 0xc0106000; /boot/System.map value is
0x108ce0.
      There were 341 additional mismatches.
      /boot/System.map and the booted kernel may not be a matched set.
[root@pclueyb rpm]#            

Thanks,


Ben

We live in the Computer Age, and you need to get with the program.  You 
are standing in the airport terminal of life, and the jet plane of the 21st 
century is about to take off.  You must make a choice: Do you remain in the 
terminal, eating the stale vending-machine food of outmoded thinking?  Or do 
you get on the plane and soar into the stratosphere of computerization, swept
along by the jet stream of evolving technology, enjoying the in-flight snack 
of virtually unlimited information access, secure in the knowledge that if you
encounter the turbulence of rapid change, you are holding, in this book, the 
barf bag of expert guidance?  -- Dave Barry, Dave Barry in Cyberspace
