Hello!

I've just installed pclinuxos and it's brilliant, but I've also encountered an odd problem.The alsa sound drivers are installed, and are apparently working, but it seems that the OS doesn't detect my onboard sound card(c media 97): "No Sound Card has been detected on your machine. Please verify that a Linux-supported Sound Card is correctly plugged in.", and I can play audio files, but I can't hear anything ;I booted a slax live CD, and the sound card was working fine, and I could hear.

Waiting for your replies, thanks.

Hello timwell21. Welcome to the forums.

Have you tried running alsaconf as root?

I did that, and here's the message shown:"No supported PnP or PCI card found."

What is the name of the alsa driver being used on slax? What type of system do you have? (please provide specs)

I booted on slax again, and it seems that this time it fails to detect my sound card.

What system specs should I write down?

Is the on-board sound device able to be turned off in the bios? Could that be the reason why the device is absent?

Can you try a complete shutdown, power off and reboot?

Give us some idea about the computer you have.

Eg
IBM Laptop / Dell Desktop
Pentium 4 cpu
512mb ram
80gb harddrive

What version of pclinux you are using.

In bios, the onboard sound card was set on "enabled", so I changed it to "auto", and it worked.

Thanks Smiley
