Hi, I install Salix FXCE 14.1 in my HP 2540p notebook.

But it seem like not any sound device work.

Any one could help me for this?

This is most commonly because the sound device you need is muted by default, or because you need to select a different sound card to that selected by default. There is a tool to configure sound in the system menu, or from the command line, try
where F6 allows you to select the sound card (but first ensure the default selection is not muted). Then to save the new settings permanently,

sudo alsactl store

I have tried, when I press F6, seem like nothing happen.

When I load Mixer from Application Menu, have some err message:

GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.

Is it a Full installation, and have you installed multimedia codecs (option in Multimedia menu)?

Thank you for you answer, Full installation, no change anything about codecs.

In that case, you need to install them.

Hi, Thanks for you help.

I have resolve this according reinstall Salix.
the only difference step is first(failed) time, I'm not create new user in setup, only modified root password
and finish install, when I login, I found root can not be login, so , I create a new user, and login to XFCE.

in this case, seem like icon is missing in Application Menu, and sound is not setting correctly.
I does not know why, I think perhaps, if add user manually, some initalize command is not be invoke?

First, am I right in thinking that you've now solved the original problem to your satisfaction, that is, everything works? If so, great

Creating another user after installation should work (for instance, you might want it for another family member), but maybe something goes wrong if you don't create a non-root user at all during initial setup; I can't think how, though, or how you would then log in, since there is no longer a root password by default in Salix.

In any case, root powers should only be used when needed (now with sudo, from 14.1). You definitely need a normal user.

1. I logged into system with Ctrl + Alt + F1 with root, when I install salix, I setting root password too.
2. I add a new user with 'useradd zw963 -g zw963 -d /home/zw963', I given workgroup with 'zw963', not 'users', maybe this cause problem.

anyway, any problem is gone, thanks.
