This question has been answered many times, search the forums before you post. With that said, here is the relevant section from my xorg.conf file:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"    "/dev/mouse"
    Option "Buttons"   "7"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Add that to your xorg.conf file, and your scroll wheel will work for you.

For audio as root type

Code:

alsamixer

and unmute and raise the volume levels, then

Code:

alsactl store

to save the levels
