Re: [orca-list] Orca And Multiple Audio Devices

[Peter Vágner <peter v datagate sk>]

Hello,
I have found that indexes start at zero so I did the following
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-ca0106 index=-1

device snd-intel8x0 should be first and the ca0106 the second one.
After doing this I can't get any sound.
I have booted to windows found a utility which can write to the ext3 
file system and removed these options from my alsa-base but still when 
trying to boot up my copy of ubuntu I am getting no sound.
However I can hear the click while the system is booting so I am sure 
the sound devices are active. Perhaps my volume controls have been 
screwed or something. has anyone some pointers where I might look 
because without sound I can do nothing. so perhaps I can edit some of 
the files remotelly, restart the machine and pray for the best.
