No sound in Mandriva


I have no sound in Mandriva Linux 2007, I have tried the "felsökaren" in Mandriva, in English something like: The Wrong seaker. For my soundcard. And when im doing one search command to try figure out whats wrong I get this:

[adrian@c-a4dee455 ~]$ grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0


And the part "sound-slot" is red.. Maybe thats something?

Help plx!

Edit my soundcard is: CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller

Did you try this?:

Don't type the quotation marks, only the command within them.
1)Open a terminal window, I used Konsole
2)type "su" and hit enter key
3) will ask you for password, type your root account password and hit enter key
4)type "alsaconf"
5)a new window will pop up, (the graphical alsaconfigurator program), it is very straight forward, just pick the answer to a couple questions it asks and your done. When it asks if it can write the new config file, allow it.

I'll take a guess that seaker means driver?

Sorry, forgot alsaconf is not installed by default. Go about it by installing it first like this:


Password:
[root@localhost lakota]# alsaconf
bash: alsaconf: command not found
[root@localhost lakota]# urpmi alsaconf
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributio...007.0.i586.rpm
