hmmmmmmmm.

it seems alsaconf does the un-mute for you, automagically.

in my case, i didn't know about alsaconf, and so did the
un-mute the oldfashioned way, with alsamixer.
i'm using the generic-smp kernel on a Dell 800 lapper, plain
vanilla full install, and the only problems (so far) are with
the ATI M4 video.

Thanx for the tip.
