Hi,

In order to help you, more information is needed.

1) What is your kernel version? (uname -a)

2) Could you post the output for lspci?

3) The output for cat /etc/modprobe.conf would be useful too.

Thanks

thanks for ur reply

can u help me wht can i do next

Oops... lspci command need super user permission.
First switch over into super user mode. try this.
#su -
password: [type your super user password here]
#lspci | grep audio
Then post the result, what u r getting.
The simple solution for your sound card problem is, go to http://www.alsa-project.org/download the latest driver and then install.
Installation steps:
* First unzip the driver file. then go to the directory and then try,
#./configure
#make
#make install
#alsamixer
Hope, now you ill get the sound. If you will get any problem in alsa driver configuration, post it here.

even i am in root same problem

[root@localhost saritha]# lspci
bash: lspci: command not found

i had downloaded alsa driver alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2

after make install

it is giving warning


WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!!
**************************************************************************
You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume.

[root@localhost saritha]# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device


this is the mesg i got

after this what can i do can u help me how to get the sound

Did you try to run alsamixer?

By the way, for commands like lspci, notice that there is a difference between to be root and to get root permission.

To be root you need to type "su -" and then you can use the lspci.

If you only type "su", you only get root permission and in order to use lspci, you need to type /sbin/lspci.

even i am in root

i am getting this error


[root@localhost sbin]# lspci
bash: lspci: command not found

what can i do

after installing alsa driver

i had run alsmixer

[root@localhost ~]# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

where is the problem can u suggest me

I am going to guess that something in your install is borked. As support for FC6 will be dropped shortly (one month after the release of Fedora 8), I would suggest upgrading. Is it worth all the effort for something that will not have any support in two months?

Good Luck

Seems, some problems in your OS.
Better u may reinstall or upgrade ur OS.
If you are trying with Laptop or any other latest hardware config pc, then try to install Ubuntu gutsy 7.10 and install d latest ALSA-Driver.
The driver problem is not related with OS.But why I m saying is, the updated version may b solve your problem. Coz Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 released by last week only.
