I still can't get sound to work. Can someone tell me what's wrong? In addition to my earlier thread below I have INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" and ALSA_CARDS="AC97" in my make.conf.
The following that someone suggented does nothing. > modprobe snd-intel8x0; modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe snd-mixer-oss; modprobe snd-seq-oss I've also tried a second sound card and alternate set of speakers. Also nothing is muted or turned down. According to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ my card works. 10de00ea Yes nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb AC'97 Audio Controller snd-intel8x0 v2.6.25- On 01/22/2011 08:16 PM, dhk wrote: > Can someone tell me why I don't have sound?
