Mika, thanks for telling me about the soundtest command. It told me on my screen that the sound card seems to work, but there was no sound from the card. My speakers are on, volume up. I wonder if something got connected wrong, but I know too little to guess sensibly. Again, though, thanks for the help to this point.

How would I determine whether the grml CD also finds > it? (Ordinarily, I boot that up with my tripletalk usb.) You just want to know whether the soundcards basically works under grml or not? Boot grml and as soon as booting finished execute the command soundtest which will play a short demo file then.
