A common problem is that on some laptops fldigi produces no audio output.

Following quote from the fldigi list uses the alsamixer program
to solve the problem:

quote################################################
The audio driver offers two groups of controls, Capture (Rx) and
Playback (Tx). To set Tx audio level, the Playback headphone control
had to be un-muted. Otherwise I started with all controls
minimuzed. To set Tx audio level with TUNE, I only had to increase the
PCM control to the point that the PTT LED on the SignaLink turned on,
and then an additional 50% for stability, which brought me 74% level.

For Rx I turned to the Playback group, which were all minimized
initially. I only had to raise the Capture L/R control to about 70%
to get a useful waterfall. I increased it to 80% and set the waterfall
audio bandwidth in fldigi to 0-79.

Hope this helps some of you..
