          Hello. My soundcard is not working. Hopefully we can get it fixed. I don't know what commands to run to figure out what is wrong, but here is what my soundcard is according to alsaconf: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC '97. 
 
 
I ran alsaconf and messed around with alsamixer. I also downloaded the **censored** as well as **censored**. Still, I cannot get mp3s to play and have no other sound. 
 
 
Any help would be great guys. 
 
 
Thanks. |

          | There is a post on just this subject right here in the hardware forum that should get you started.  Post some error messages if you have any. |

          Thanks. That post wsa very helpful. Well, it seems like my sound card was detected and I turend off the sound system, now I get this:
 
 
sleiva@ToshibaKan:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/startup.ogg
 
 
Input Filename : /usr/share/sounds/startup.ogg
 
Sample Size    : 16-bits
 
Sample Encoding: Vorbis
 
Channels       : 2
 
Sample Rate    : 44100
 
 
Time: 00:00.37 [00:01.49] of 00:01.86 ( 20.0%) Output Buffer:  16.38K 
 
 
So I guess it's playing. However, I hear no sound. |

          | What does 
 Code: 
cat /proc/asound/cards
 
 say?
 
It really looks like you have the mixer muted or a volume turned down. |

          I have seen other users with this same ICH6 chipset having similar issues.  I do not know what the fix is nor did anyone in #kanotix at the time I asked.  Please post the output of
 
Code: 
 lsmod | grep snd

          try turning  off the audio in the kde control center ( under sound and multimedia then sound system )
 
reboot and them check kmixer 
 
I then get a choice of the cx88 and the nvidia driver in kmixer ( i still get audio for tv viewing and mp3 playback) 
 
 
goodluck
