Did you also run:

Code:

alsamixer

and set the volume?

If you ran alsaconf and it found and configured your card, then ran the volume up in alsamixer, that should be it. Run: Code: kmix and see if there is anything there that would help... __________________ CRUX 2.5 + IceWM Registered:#371367 New Members: click here

If there is an MM under the channel in alsamixer, then the channel is muted. BTW, remember to turn all channels up and unmute them. Bryan __________________ Looking for a distro? Look here.
