Configuring sound, it doesn't work!
There is absolutely no sound on my comp. It is a gateway solo 2150. I try to open the volume control and it says there are no devices then it tell me this:
"Registry is not present or it is corrupted, please update it by running gst-register"

Hi...
Did you install gstreamer codecs?
In the case you did it, try typing: Where X should be the gstreamer plugins versions you have installed, assuming that you have the 0.8 gstreamer plugins, then the command would be:
Reegards

Now I can move the volume up and down, but there is still nothing at all coming out the speakers! not even static. How could I install the codecs?

to verify that it isn't a gnome issue, open up a console, and type cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp .

It wasn't meant to fix it, but to make fellow LQers' life easier when troubleshooting soundcard problems.
This would be your driver: (already loaded) snd_ens1371
The fact that cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp displays a blank line without sound means that the problem is at the kernel/driver level.
It seams that the driver is defective or something. The OSS commercial drivers only work for little time... I don't know what to say, but it looks like google work from now on... sorry about that

make sure to check out the HCL first.
Sound cards are picky.
