Florian, for some reason, the speakers worked today. I'm not sure if runnin=
g alsamixer yesterday after your instructions had anything to do with it or=
 booting without the headphones plugged. Those are the only different thing=
s (related to sound) that I've done before starting the machine today. GNOM=
E even displays some information when I plug the headphones. It didn't do t=
his before.

One thing I noticed when booting is an error that says something like this:

   Error: "pcspkr" is already registered, aborting.

I wonder if that is related. Although the speakers worked anyways.

Thank you, Florian.
