OK, are you trying to run it using oss or alsa (ie what programs are you running to try out the sound card?) Try for example to do aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav (or any other .wav file on your system). Open alsamixer and push up all of the sliders to max and make sure that everything is not muted. Exactly what slider corresponds to what feature of the sound card is a total mess-- it depends on what the sound card manufacturer calls the feature, and there is no agreement on that. So try everything. You can then try turning down stuff to see exactly what is relevant and what not.

My user is part of the group audio What oss modules? There are oss modules which are part of alsa ( snd-*oss*) and there are oss modules which are native oss which could conflict with alsa ( they do not have snd_ as part of their name) > > I was running alsaconf, all finished fine, but no sound > > Roland > > > > > Am Mittwoch, den 08.07.2009, 14:10 -0700 schrieb Bill Unruh: >> Turn on the sound card?
