I suggest a couple things. 1) send us the output of lspci -vv | grep -A 10 Audio and lsmod | grep snd 2) try using a command line player on a wav file and see what happens. try this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav this should play 9 files for different surround sound speakers, but you should get something. if it works, then we can move on to the cd and other issues. If it doesn't work, then send us the output. A
