Re: Sound card troubles

[Lance Hoffmeyer <lance@augustmail.com>]

You might try 

cat /proc/asound/cards to see if your card(s) are identified.

Did you compile ALSA with OSS emulation?

ALSA, by default has all volumnes set to 0.
Have you tried alsamixer or gmix to increase sound?

Try playing a mp3 or ogg with mplayer to see if it will
play them.

what does modprobe -l | grep 'snd' produce?
