Greetings,

I'm running LFS compiled Linux with the 2.6.11.12 kernel.  I've compiled 
xmms and can play mp3 files, so my sound card works.

However, I have no sound from either a command line or OpenOffice.  For 
instance, neither OpenOffice macros or "print \a" from a command line 
will beep.  This is probably someone quite basic.  What should I check?
