Hi, I'm getting no sound at all from a new install of Kubuntu 5.10. My hardware seems to be recognized (?) but I'm not even sure. This is what I get...

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC880 Analog [ALC880 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1

If anyone could shed any light on this it would be a huge help, I'm fairly clueless after puzzling over it for many hours. Thanks

do you have the alsa drivers installed.. paste the output of lsmod in here will ya... also a common problem is muted hardware devices. please check that thro alsamixer if so unmmute it ans save the mixer volume it..

Thanks for your response...I think I have the alsa drivers installed (I've installed all of the alsa packages). Also the speakers are not muted, I've checked and all of the levels are up. lsmod gives me:

Thanks again, much appreciated

I think you got both alsa drivers and OSS drivers installed. Is it so ?? have you installed alsa as kernel module or external drivers. if external modules checl for oss support in kernel and remove that. and i dont ask you to check wether the spekers are nuted or not. i meant there is a tol called alsamixer which sets the mixeer volumes. also unmute themand save. thought i got a little confused there with teh speker volumes )

How do I check for OSS support in kernel?

Also, I did use alsamixer to check the levels, sorry for the confusion

...do sound cards need to be mounted?
