I have gotten pretty much everything up and running, except for one thing. I can't get my sound to work. It doesn't even detect my sound card. Alsamixer doesn't work and Alsaconf won't detect my sound card. Also, I've tried to install the nforce drivers, but I get errors about the kernel-source. All I want is for this to work. Anyone have any ideas?

From the command line do: Code: /sbin/lspci Find the section about your soundcard and post it here. __________________ CRUX 2.5 + IceWM Registered:#371367 New Members: click here

I know where my source is, but it says something about a --kernel-source command? I have no clue what to do now...
