I'm a Linux newbie, I know hardly anything about commands, compiling, etc. (Even the file system has me pretty stumped...) I'm a former Windows user, so baby me if you leave any helpful advice.
I have Knoppix installed to my HD, and I have no sound.
I've been searching numerous Linux forums, and googling for several days now on this problem, and I can't find anything useful that I can understand.
I've also tried the alsa autoconfig thing, but that didn't work either. (Though I'm not sure if I did it properly.)
I ran sndconfig, and it gave me this:
Warning: DISPLAY is set. It is recommended that sndconfig *NOT* be run from X Windows. Continue anyways? (Have no clue what this means, but I chose 'yes'.)
A PCI sound card was found in your system: nVIDIA Corporation | nForce Multimedia Audio [VIA VT82C686B]

Here's the audio info when I ran: cat /proc/pci

If more information is needed, just let me know. I've read about several commands (and used them too) that give more system info, I just didn't want to make this a mile-long post. Thank you in advance!
