| ok, I just looked inside my box and my soundcard is not PCI, so I don't know why Windows says it is. The AC'97 is onboard. | |

You have no PCI sound card and only an onboard sound device that's showing up as a PCI sound card in MS Windows and showing up as TWO sound cards in Linux, neither of which work correctly. Does that about sum it up? | |

It's showing up correctly and says it's configured, yet I still have no sound. | |

What are they, and how do I check for them? | |

What are they, and how do I check for them? | They're sound daemons used by some window managers and desktop environments. You can see if they're running by checking your running processes with either ps -aux or top. You can then kill them by taking note of their process id (provided in the second or third column of ps -aux and top, I forget which), and doing a kill -9 12345 where "12345" is the PID. | |
