Thank you for your response, Ric. I hadn't tried alsamixer. In fact, I've never pulled the alsa mixer up since install, I'm using PulseAudio, and so have used the PulseAudio controls. In any event, I'm not sure what I should see with the alsa mixer, but I only have a master playback control, which is at 100% and a capture control, also set for 100%. There are no other controls available on the alsamixer. I'm almost to the point of completely un-installing gnome, and then re-installing gnome from scratch (if that is even possible) to see if I can get them back. I play music and other audio all the time, but I also use the audio notifications, especially for email, and hate it when they are out. -- Que te vaya bien
