Try lspci -v and see if the sounds card is using a driver. If it is, |
19 |
then the kernel is working and it is recognizing the sound card. This |
20 |
is what mine looks like: |

01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) |
25 |
Subsystem: Creative Labs SBLive! 5.1 eMicro 28028 |
26 |
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 18 |
27 |
I/O ports at b000 [size=32] |
28 |
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 |

Kernel driver in use: EMU10K1_Audigy |

The last line is what you look for. If you see something like that then |
34 |
it could be as simple as the sound is muted. I have no idea why but as |
35 |
a general rule, the sound is muted when you install. I use KDE so I had |
36 |
to unmute with Kmix and alsamixer to get mine working. |

If it doesn't show a driver in use, then you have to either build a |
39 |
module or a new kernel if you want it built in. In that case, let us |
40 |
know what kind of sound card you have. The output from lspci would be |
41 |
great. |
