Can't change master volume in ALSA.. NO SOUND!
 

You know I love linux but don't get things like this, why the huge issues over such little things. I have a PC Chips MB with on board c-media sound and I have no volume. I've done all I can think of with the help of a friend but I can raise or change the master volume when I open alsamixer for some reason. What's going on?

THANKS A LOT!

Make sure you have your audio module loaded:

c-media audio uses either cmipci or cmpci

Then look at this thread:

Or possibly, it is muted - press m to unmute.

have you tried opening a terminal and typing alsamixer then checking all of your volumes?

Yes, when I do this it's just set at 00, it isn't muted and won't let me turn it up with the up/down arrows but it will let me adjust others, just not the master...

Sounds like a permissions problem, however there could be a few other reasons.

(ie. 'no volume' isn't enough information! :) )
