Im new to the world of Linux and i just started dual booting with windows xp. I have Arklinux and when i boot to it i have no sound whatsoever. Can anyone help me out.
First of all welcome to the community!
some of the distributions(which I don't know the reason really) have the sound settings muted and level 0.
To correct that do the following
open a terminal
run the command alsaconf
unmute the channels and raise the sound volume , unmute by pressing the button m and when you finish press q to quit
login as root (this can be done with the command su and then by typing the password)
then run the following command to save the settings so as to keep them next time you boot
alsactl store
