All help appreciated. Hi. Can you post a bit of output please. cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 If the card is shown as card0, open alsamixer as user on a terminal, as below. alsamixer -D hw:0 This will show all the playback controls. There may be something muted (M key toggles mute/unmute), or some sliders may need pushing up. The main ones would be Master, PCM, and Front, along with the CD one if you are trying sounds with a music cd. You may need to set a model option for snd-hda-intel in /etc/modprobe.conf, as below. options snd-hda-intel model=medion Then reboot, and check alsamixer again. Just some suggestions. Nigel. btw. To disable pulseaudio, simply remove the package, alsa-plugins-pulseaudio . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
