(Get the code!)
1. Ctrl-alt-F2 (et al) gives me a screen of static - guess limitation of graphics card.
So I tried logging on using XTERM rathern than Gnome - I don't know if that is sufficient.
Under Xterm alsamixer shows PCM volume is zero. I set it to 71, exit, and reboot. Logging in to Xterm shows it 0 again.
Reboot and log in to Gnome desktop. Use alsamixer at terminal to increase PCM to 71. Reboot and log in using Xterm, and it's zero again. Log in using Gnome and it's zero again.
2. I then transferred hard drive to a different PC (with a different soundcard). Repeated above but using tty2 instead of Xterm. Same results. On this PC (with motherboard sound card) PCM volume does not need to enabled to have sound. The original PC with a SB16 soundcard does need PCM enabled for sound to work.
3. Happy to do anything else.
