You should get sounds out of Zyn using it's inbuilt keyboard, even if your
Yamaha one has some problems. Have a good look at alsamixer's controls on the
CLI (konsole/terminal). Controls like "master" "pcm" "front", if you have
them need to be unmuted and the sliders pushed up.

The fact that your sounds are working on Ubuntu is a good start. It's worse
when you have no sounds at all.

Which soundcard do you have? lspci will show you this. Just post the relevant
bit for the soundcard.

You say also that you recompiled the kernel. Have you still got another kernel
you can try, and see if the sounds work ok with it? Just a question, but
sometimes something can be missed when configuring a new kernel. Saying that
though, you say that sound is working on ubuntu.

Please make sure you do a "reply to mailing list" from your email client, or a
"reply all" if you want to reply to me also, as there may be other folks that
can help you with this problem.

All the best.

Nigel.

btw. Would you post the output of lsmod | grep snd
