Hi poma,
I assume that I'm meant to run those commands? Or are they just a list
of various commands that I might find useful to explore? In any case, I
ran them all in order, though many of the ones prefixed with "$" failed
without root, so I ended up running them all in order again as root.
Here's the transcript of my shell session, although my sound still
doesn't work:

In the latter case, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that all this stuff is way
over my head. I've tried reading some of the output and I don't even
know where to begin in trying to decipher it..
Thanks
