It would be better for a person to help you in the forums. If you use gaim then noone will know how you solved this problem therfore it won't help anyone else.

have you tried running alsaconf to select the sound card you want to use and configure it ?

alsaconf is a command line utility, should be run as root.

nope, no modules found for anything and at end it just says OK and theres no information ontop..

If i run gnome meeting it goes throughf irst time setup and for sound output, it doesnt have anything to selelct..

i want to use my mobo sound not my pci. but it doesnt find either...

Do you know what chipset your sound on the motherboard is.

lspci will list the PCI devices in your system (such as your sound card.. ) post the results so we can see what Sound card you have..

Yes I have onboard sound as well as a Soundblaster in this machine just like your setup.. I use the Intel onboard Audio.

lsmod will list the loaded modules.. Filter through grep for snd moudules.. lets see what you currently are showing.
