CrunchBang Linux

So i have another problem, i used the crunch 10 live disc and the audio didnt work, but the next time i used the live disc the audio some how was working, i then decided to install statler xfce version.
After installing i found out that the audio was again not working, ive been trying to find out a solution but i have no idea what is happening, im kinda thinking its because my graphics card has a HDMI out, because when i go to mixer i see a HDA ATI HDMI (alsa mixer), so im thinking that crunch is trying to use that audio instead of my audio card, how do i get it so it doesnt look at that and looks at my sound card? some how set the default sound card? is this possible?

thanks

Hi im new to the Statler Crunchbang and am having trouble accessing an encrypted folder.

I previously had Ubuntu 10.10 installed and went with the option of encrypting my /home drive. Today i just installed the Statler 10 xfce4 version of Crunchbang, and now cannot access the data on the encrypted /home drive that i had from Ubuntu. Does anyone know how to help me access that data? Is there some how a way for me to remove the encryption through Crunch?

Thanks for your help
