Find your soundcard, and tell us what it says about it. It should also tell you which driver it is using. The Run Config Tool should give you something similar to the attached jpg. The Troubleshooting button gives you tests that you can run from a root console. If there are alternative drivers they will be in the drop-down list. Run those tests, and give us the results. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Hve done all that I think, the sound card is onboard via vt8233 and the driver in use is snd-via82xx but the other people who have solved the same problem have done it via the alsa project with oss drivers but I do not know what to do.
