Run `alsamixer` from the command line to check volumes settings. <br>Most apps like Kaffine, amarok, juk, etc use PCM.<br><br>If those look okay make sure the correct module/s/ are loaded for your soundcard. If not, than run `alsaconf`

Fix= ??<br> I opened Kaffeine and sound clips today, and there's no sound. Have been using this KDE on linux for about 4 years. I troublehot whatever I could: all wires and connections OK, earphones swapped are fine; also checked the other players-- Amarok and Xmms. No sound. In the Kaffeine Handbook, one file is "Control Center Modules", and in that [non-alphabetically!] is "Sound System". However, Mike McBride's article there doesn't tell you how to get INTO where you can configure the aRts server, which I take it has some sound controls. I'd like to at least check whether they've set some Volume to zero, if you think that could be the problem. How do I access any master sound controls, if there are any? Do you think this has to be a hardware/card problem? How can I check? Many thanks, Liss H.
