Have you tried to run alsaconf ? Its a supported soundcard so its probably just a teething issue.

It still doesn't work.
I got the complete error from kmix when i start it:
Quote:
kmix: Error: Alsa mixer cannot be found.
Please check that the soundcard is installed and the soundcard driver is loaded.
Thanx Hylke

Unhappy
I also have the problem with starting X Windows system....says sound card cannot be found etc etc...i can play sound fine in console but with a lot of hissing...mostly due to my lack of knowledge I'm guessing
