I am new to linux. I have installed Puppy Linux (lucid) on my flash drive. My sound card is not detected by puppy. There is no sound icon in the tray. I have runned ALSA wizard. It didn't detect any Sound card. But my sound perfectly works in Windows (my other os). Please help.. Thanks a lot in advance..

Check the supported card list: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main
If your card is on the list, check that the module is available and loaded.

If it is not there in the list?

What is the vendor and model of your soundcard? If you aren't sure, run
and paste the output here (just the bits that identify the soundcard if you recognize it, please).

I'm not the OP but have the same problem Here is the cut and paste of my lspci -vvv
