sound and linux

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi,
In fc-3 the sound is muted for some soundcards.
With an everything install, you can use amixer to set things right.
I had to turn headphones on to make my sound work.
The symtom was that when one run play soundfile.wav, the command finnished 
without problems , but there was no sound like when the speakers was'nt 
plugged in.
