I don't know, as I've never swapped a mobo. Which Debian version are you using, and which kernel (uname -r) What does, cat /proc/asound/version show for the alsa driver version Try running as root. /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop then /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start Is Alsa starting ok after stopping it? the 2 commands for alsactl, running them as root, are. alsactl store , (which saves alsamixer settings when you shutdown) and alsactl restore, (which restores previously saved settings when you reboot) It may be worth having a good look at alsamixer. My alsamixer for the audigy2 soundblaster is no good to you, and the card you have just seems to do analog, but it's worth rechecking that there arn't any switches that are muted. Speaker-test is normally a good test, not only for individual speakers, but just to see if you have any sound at all. The guys that normally reply on this list are no doubt taking a break. If you still have problems, it might be worth reposting in a few days. All the best. Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
