As of SecondLife_i686_1_16_0_6 sound stopped working. SecondLife_i686_1_16_0_5 I had perfect audio.

From startup log _0_6:

Rest assured I do have ALSA audio.

Did you try commenting out some of the outputs in the SL script?

Have you tested sound outside of SL with success since the issue cropped up?

What Distro/Version and sound hardware model# are you using? Others may have similar issues or know how to fix a specific situation.

...Well it appears my sound device was wedged. I don't know why. But since SecondLife_i686_1_16_0_5 was the only app. that used sound since my previous reboot I'm thinking that could be the cause. ...anyway it's working fine on _0_6 since the reboot. Sorry the noise.

Two soundcards. So I can tell you for certain that SecondLife..._0_5 was the only app using sound on that card.
