Your sound-card is on-board. First, be shure about the name of it, the chipset that makes it work - open your pc and see the name of the chipset on the main-board - maybe you'll need it after. I doesn't know if you found a driver for your sound-card, but there is already one loaded (like shows above, in snd* and soundcore ) : > "lsmod": > > "Module � � � � � � � � �Size �Used by � �Tainted: P > snd-pcm-oss � � � � � �36100 � 0 �(autoclean) > snd-mixer-oss � � � � �10528 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-pcm-oss] > snd-intel8x0 � � � � � 15904 � 0 �(autoclean) > snd-pcm � � � � � � � �54976 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0] > snd-timer � � � � � � �10208 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-pcm] > snd-mpu401-uart � � � � 2560 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-intel8x0] > snd-rawmidi � � � � � �12192 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-mpu401-uart] > snd-seq-device � � � � �3760 � 0 �(autoclean) > [snd-rawmidi] > snd-ac97-codec � � � � 24880 � 0 �[snd-intel8x0] > snd � � � � � � � � � �24104 � 0 �[snd-pcm-oss > snd-mixer-oss snd-intel8x0 > snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi > snd-seq-device snd-ac97-codec] > soundcore � � � � � � � 3492 � 4 �[snd] > nvidia � � � � � � � 1466752 �10 > 8139too � � � � � � � �13920 � 1 > mii � � � � � � � � � � 1088 � 0 �[8139too]" > You'll need to remove its firt. To do this, I recomend you do has follow : 1) move all this modules to another place - If its be in a directory in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd (directory snd, or misc, for example), - "%mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd /backup-lib-snd-modules 2) get a driver to it (maybe someone knows where to find your drive, or search at google if you haven't it yet) 3) download it, decompress it, and change to it�s directory. 4) READY VERY CAREFFULY the "README" file, or "INSTALL", .. or something like this, and do the steps like sad. 5) If you did everything like ready (and had some luck too, hehe), you'll have yours modules in "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd (or misc,...)". 6) Shutdown your pc, reboot and try to play some sound. 7) If nothing work fine, remove the modules installed, and bring the originally back - "%rm -Rf /lib/modules/`uname -r�/snd (or misc,.. )" and "%mv /backup-lib-snd-modules". Shutdown again. Theses are the steps that you maybe try, the way that the things happen in linux. I think that say you how to think is better than how maybe do.. , because things like this takes some *hurd* times...
