no sound (please, help...)

[j.s.bach]

I installed Ubuntu linux 5.04 on my desktop, and I have no sound. I have an on-board sound card and also a SounBlaster Live 5.1.

root@edgeworth:~ # cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
Intel ICH5 with AD1985 at 0xfebff800, irq 17
1 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - Sound Blaster Live!
Sound Blaster Live! (rev.10) at 0xb400, irq 19

I followed the instructions in

http://ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly

But that did not help...

Tips are extremely welcome. Thanks.

Do you use OSS or ALSA?

Is sound volume up?

[j.s.bach]

Initially I was using OSS (I think), which is used by default. I tried the suggestion in the link above, which made me use ALSA. But still no sound in both soundcards. I am using GNOME. I did toy around with alsamixer, but... no sound still. Hints are extremely welcome.

And does the soft you are trying to use is having alsa-support?

[j.s.bach]

Yes, I tried the GNOME CD player, xine, xmms, you name it...
