Then, type: Code: alsaconf Go through the menus here to configure your sound card. When that is done, type: Code: alsamixer This will run a mixer program. Turn all the volumes up. Then, run Code: alsactl store to store the settings. Hopefully that works, Bryan __________________ Looking for a distro? Look here.

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?
