No sound

Hello, I just installed slack 10.1 and have no sound. I searched through some threads but found nothing that would help. Here is the output from lspci:

It look as if the module is right because my onboard sound is Cmedia (sis). When I mess with aumix while playing a cd I hear me turning the sound up and down but no sound from music.

Thanks for the help.

I'm don't think that the CMedia driver is the right one to run, looking at the kernel configuration help, the CMedia driver is for : "C-Media 8738, 8338" and i don't think that's you.

According to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...dor-SiS#matrix

it looks like you ought to be running either a trident or the intel8x0 driver...

Best of luck.

did you run alsaconf after you installed slack? that *might* be your problem...so open a terminal, su to root and type alsaconf and follow the instructions....
