Re: New install - no sound

[Russ Cook <russcook@mbo.net>]

Len,
 In /proc/asound I have a symlink CK804 which links to a directory card0.
In card0 I have a file named intel8x0 and a directory named codec97#0.
There also other files and directories.
Connecting to other audio jacks does not appear to help.
