Hello all,

This is my first post, so please be kind. I'm on a live DVD and I'm trying to get sound going. Looks like sound is happening, but I have an icon on my toolbar that has a slash through a speaker. I'm betting if I can turn that icon into a speaker, I'll have sound. The only problem is I'm pretty much a noob on just about anything you throw at me that's Linux. So keep that in mind too. :-)

Where I've seen there's sound happening is at youtube and the GNOME MPlayer.

Have you tried asking anywhere else? This forum is for roxterm, which is obsolete and doesn't have much to do with sound, so you probably won't get any useful answers here. Try finding a forum specific to your distro which has groups for beginners and/or sound-related issues.
