Sorry to read it did not work. You did move both the "slider bars" far to the right on your screen, when conducting the test? The PCM bar sometimes fools users, who mistakenly leave it to the left.

yep, I moved them both all the way to the right. I don't know what the problem is.

Have you checked the switch tag in kmix?
May be something is off when it shouldn't be...

Check also the input-output ones. I know it might sound stupid but you never know

I re-read this thread, and I did not see your answer to the question: "Have you turned off your motherboard sound in your BIOS". What applies to windows is not the same for Linux. Hence I think (assuming I am reading the posts in this thread correct), if you are going to use a sound card, you should turn off the mother board sound.

where do I find these?

There is no problem so complicated that you cannot find a very simple answer to it if you look at it in the right way

techieMoe said I should make sure the sound was turned on in BIOS....so you're saying I should turn it off?

techieMoe

I was not aware you had onboard sound AND a sound card. If that's the case, you do indeed need to turn OFF your onboard sound.

I'm not sure I get what you mean by saying I have onboard sound and a soundcard. I'm certain I have a Realtek AC'97 soundcard, maybe it is onboard? How can I tell? I don't see why I would have both.

i2kdave

windows lists my soundcard as PCI, so it must not be onboard
