I have installed RedHat Enterprise Linux WS-4 in my desktop (dual boot with WindowsXP) with genome desktop environment.The problem is I cannt hear sound in Linux, but it works smoothly in Windows XP.The automatic sound card detection tool found out that my sound card is AC'97 audio controller.I installed alsa in my system.Still it doesnt work.Can anybody help me to fix this problem.?

1st check the packages installed as root by,

Code:

rpm -qa |grep alsa

perhaps it will return the two packages

Code:

alsa-utils.x

and

Code:

alsa-lib.x

then try to remove the packages by

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps alsa-lib

Code:

rpm -e --nodeps alsa-utils

Then install both packages through yum ,if u have or by supplying

Code:

rpm -ivh <package name>

from where the packages are..

try running alsamixer and ensure that master is not set to mute.
