You will need to give us more information than that. Kernel version? Sound card model? The sound chip it is using?

Do:

Code:
$> uname -a
$> lspci

OK. Try run "alsaconf" and write down what is the device it detected, we may need this for further fine tuning the configuration.

From here, if it claim configured successfully, try run "alsamixer" to set the mixer level and make sure all is unmuted. Save your setting by running "alsactl store" after exit from the alsamixer.

If the problem continues, you will need to add additional configuration options for your card. But, we need the device name before we can do that.

What do you mean it did not work? You mean, it cannot be detected? If so, your alsa mixer should not be working. No point playing with the mixer if your card is not detectable.

Oh... This means your "ALSA" is either not properly installed or is not in the PATH. You should install all the packages for "ALSA", otherwise, you may have problem playing sounds in the system.

I am using Slackware, for my case, I simply look for the alsa-xxx.tgz packages and use installpkg or upgradepkg on them.

I am not sure about other distributions. You may need to post your question for distribution specific forum.
