Re: No sound except from screensaver



I have determined that if the screensaver is running and the mute option is
selected (haven't tried it unmuted) and the battery goes dead on my laptop
the problem occurrs.

I plan to try it with the screensaver unmuted and then try to recover the
sound by running the screensaver unmuted when the battery dies.

Any thoughts??
