I've tried everything I can think of; I've set up alsa correctly (I think),
and on one of the user accounts on my slackware 10 system sound works just
fine, but on the others, if I try to open the volume control (or most other
sound apps), I get an error:
"Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"
Any ideas why it only works for one account?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
- Dom

Check permissions for other user, make sure they belong to the audio group.

Thanks that helped. I have since found this dropline article which gave more

sound (alsa) only works on one account
