I have done 2 full installations and both times I have no joy with sound, it is a creative sb awe64 and it is enabled in the bios, I run alsa conf but no joy.

and the yoper site seems to have been down since last night so I cannot go for help there..

can anybody help? if I was to use a different Linux would that work? I am sooooo new to Linux all im after is getting it up and running.

cheers..and sorry if its a dead easy fix, I did say im a Linux newb.

Open up a Konsole and login as root (type su and enter your root password).
Then, type:

alsaconf

Go through the menus here to configure your sound card. When that is done, type:

alsamixer

This will run a mixer program. Turn all the volumes up. Then, run

alsactl store

to store the settings.

Hopefully that works,
Bryan

thanks bryan, I will try that but I have already done the alsaconf and probed but it finds nothing.

I also put knoppix live in last night and booted the machine up and knoppix ran sound fine, so that would leave me to believe that it is something with yoper, not actual linux?

[strumstrum]

tried it and nothing.

the system just isnt recognising a sound card at all..mmm strange

Try here, this looks like the driver you need.
