The card is there but still no sound.

  6: [ 1- 0]: hardware dependent

    Do I need to configure the sound card? How do I modprobe the card? I remember reading something about that?

    Hi there.

    Have you tried the command
    Code:
    alsamixer
    to verify the nothing is muted?

    Read my first post

    'Sound is not muted'

    But alsa isn't working for me either.
    Floyd:~# apt-get install alsa(I edited out some)
    alsa-base is already the newest version.

    Floyd:~# apt-get install alsa-utils
    alsa-utils is already the newest version.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    Floyd:~# alsaconf
    bash: alsaconf: command not found
    Floyd:~# alsamixer
    cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

    I just did apt-get remove alsa-base and the same for utils and reinstalled
    and it still doesn't work
    But I know it is not muted and I have added user to audio
    Still got nothing

    Are you getting sounds from anything at all?
    mp3 playback? Youtube or other streaming?

    My notes.

    #apt-get install alsa-base
    #alsactl init
    returns-Unknown hardware: "NFORCE" "Analog Devices AD1981B"
    “AC97a:41445374" "0x103c" "0x006d"
    reboot system.

    [at this point sound was extended to everything but streaming webcams. ]

    #apt-get install esound
    [sound extended to streaming, and multiple interfaces]

    [at this point sound is working universally, however - level is low]

    #apt-get install esound-clients
    #esddsp -m

    #apt-get install alsamixergui
    adjusting “PCM” levels nets proper results (increased levels)

    #lsmod|grep snd (displays results differing from previous)

    alsamixergui correctly displays Nforce card and AD1981B chip.
