[PLUG] Sound problems AGAIN

[Denis Heidtmann]

A little more info:

I created a new user.  The new user suffers from the same problem, i.e., only 
left channel has sound output.

I looked at /etc for files changed since the successful recording.  I could find 
nothing.

Does anybody know if Kubuntu uses autoupdate of packages?  I can find nothing 
about it.  The most I can find is that users complain that no autoupdate is 
available in KDE.  If this is the case, the only things that changed from the 
time I was successful recording in Audacity (August 30) and the failures (Sept 
3) was running Audacity and running Amarok.

I am at a dead end.

I realize that sound problems have so many causes and solutions that asking for
ideas is like shooting darts with a blindfold on, but here goes (in desperation):

Was working fine. Now only one channel has output sound, and Audacity does not
record.  Just last Saturday I made two recordings without a hitch.  I have made
no (intentional) changes to the system; no updates.

Output is fine in Windows (dual boot), so hardware is not the issue.

I have compared the output of amixer scontents now and that produced when the
sound was working, and they are identical.

I am running Kubuntu  8.04.  My sound card is Audigy 2:

amixer -c 0 info
Card hw:0 'Audigy2'/'Audigy 2 Value [SB0400] (rev.0, serial:0x10011102) at
0xa400, irq 5'
    Mixer name    : 'SigmaTel STAC9750,51'
    Components    : 'AC97a:83847650'
    Controls      : 200
    Simple ctrls  : 35

This is unchanged from when everything was fine.

I have Googled for info on one dead channel.  Some others report the same, but
frankly, I cannot understand the very terse replies, and many appear related to
particular sound cards/drivers.

Ideas?

Thanks,
-Denis
