Just upgraded to Mageia 3 but now seem to have weird sound problems: no sound coming from speakers but open a terminal windows, su to root and sound miraculously start to play! Any iades how to track down the cause of this?

Please use forum search next time, or have a look a few threads below yours in this subforum:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6125
For troubleshooting also have a look at viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3665#p26711 which covers the opposite case (enabling sound for an X session for root) but could help maybe.

Got a bit lost following those other threads but in the end the answer was very simple:

Software management -> search for lxdm
install lxdm (GUI login manager for LXDE​ ) version 13.1
No need to uninstall the older version 13, that seemed to get uninstalled automatically.

Thats it sound now works fine.
