Sound not working in elive
Hi
I have installed elive on my laptop and everything seems to be working ok, but i cant get the sound to work. Is there someone who knows how to fix this in elive?
I have tried running alsaconf and alsamixer without a positive result. It would be really nice if someone could help me here.
Over to another subject, but on the same system..does someone know how to get a norwegian keyboard in elive?
I have tried running the command: loadkeys no and loadkeys no-latin1
but it doesnt change anything.
I have used debian before and i know this is a debian based system. I got the sound working fine in debian after running alsaconf, but the same is not working in elive.
Help to these problems would be appericiated

What soundcard do you have? (If you don't know, run /sbin/lspci and post the output.)

You can't expect that every question is always going to be answered within 10 minutes. I checked in the hardware compatability database on this site, read the reviews of your card, and saw that some mentioned a driver, so I searched on Google and found that there should be an ALSA driver for it. If you have some kind of hardware listing tool (every decent distro should have one), use that and see if it finds your soundcard (check under System Tools, Utilities, and System Settings in your applications menu or main menu), find where it shows the driver associated with the device, and see if it's using 'snd-intel8x0', which is the ALSA driver that's supposed to work with your card. If it is using the right driver, then maybe you should file a bug report on alsa-project.org for that driver? Otherwise, try to get a newer distro which will have a newer version of ALSA (or download the latest version of ALSA and build it yourself).

Hi. Sorry about being so deperate, but i have for a couple of days now tried to figure this out. I have tried to install all the newest alsa files and even compiled a new kernel.
The result i got of this is that when i now ran alsaconf it finds a card that has the name of "Intel etc." and when that is configured i get some sound, but very low. I have set the higest volume and still get a very low. When i plug in my headset i get no sound what so ever and thats weird isnt it? hmm.
When i tried compiling the alsa driver files i configured it and then when compile i got an error which i didnt understand so it didnt finish. I will check a little on the net for "snd-intel8x0" because i cant find it in the list of modules.
Thanks for your help
edit: i tried now loading the module snd-intel8x0 and it loaded, but the sound wont get any higher.

Strange, maybe this is bug report-worthy?
