I have done all that you say, but it still is not working.

should I tell kde the device is OSS or ALSA?

I have checked all the volume levels (that I can) in alsamixer.

kmix does not show any mixers available.

There is no mention of the sound card in dmesg.  Does this mean that the card is not being detected by the kernel?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
