My first thought when I started debugging this problem was the volume. But when I try: Aumix -v 90 I get an error, something about device not found. So I tried alsamixer with no parameters and I get the error: "function snd_ctl_open failed for default. No such device". I'd like to know what driver linux is using, but I don't know where to lookk or how to change it.

Subject: Re: System-config-soundcard Hard to say whether you've made things worse by going down the right path, but your problem, at least originally, is probably nothing more severe than raising the volume on your sound card with a mixer app like alsamixer. It's muted by default. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.289 / Virus Database: 265.4.3 - Release Date: 11/26/2004
