My sound card isn't working on Mandrake 9.1 for some strange reason. it acts like its Mute-d .. but.. its not I've checked ( i think ). when I play something... in xmms, it acts normally,.. plays it,.. I see the ..visualization .. moving, and.. it just plays normally. but no sound from the speakers. My kernel version is 2.4.21-0.13mdk, and lspci gives me :
*sigh* already did. nothing wrong with that. that's completely ok, everything is okay in the software side.
maybe this is helpful (dmesg output, the sound card part):

I have an asus p4xp-x mother board and sound is onboard, by the way.
oh my god.... this is the funniest thing that ever happened to me. while waiting for a reply I was fiddling around with xmms.. and I noticed that the sound plays alright ! I can hear it in my microphone. LOL. What the hell.... the mic is plugged in ... where it should be alright. I can record in windoze with it, so where its plugged is not the problem. I could of course plug the speakers where the mic. is plugged now.. but.. isn't there another way of fixing this ?
