I have been beating my head for the past 2 day's against a wall to try and get the on-board sound to work. I did a fresh install of 7.2 and it found the sound card and configured it. From the command line if I type play and a wav it appears to play the wav and then returns to cli. No sound when I start kde either. The sound card works in windows and I compared linux irq's with windows irqs and they match. Here is a listing of my irq's: CPU0 0: 262255 XT-PIC timer 1: 1234 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 856 XT-PIC usb-uhci 7: 3012 XT-PIC eth0 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 1528 XT-PIC Intel ICH 10: 0 XT-PIC usb-uhci 12: 125757 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 19136 XT-PIC ide0 15: 19 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 My modules.conf has the following lines relating to sound: alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0 post-install snd-card-intel8x0 modprobe snd-pcm-oss This is the result of lsmod: Module Size Used by isapnp 27616 0 (unused) vfat 9408 0 (autoclean) (unused) fat 30432 0 (autoclean) [vfat] parport_probe 3536 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport 7744 0 (autoclean) [parport_probe] lockd 32208 1 (autoclean) sunrpc 54640 1 (autoclean) [lockd] autofs 9456 2 (autoclean) visor 6464 0 usbserial 18544 0 [visor] usb-uhci 19184 0 (unused) usbcore 43632 1 [visor usbserial usb-uhci] eepro100 16144 1 (autoclean) snd-pcm-oss 16848 0 snd-pcm-plugin 13040 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-mixer-oss 4288 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-intel8x0 2256 0 snd-intel8x0 5936 0 [snd-card-intel8x0] snd-pcm 29792 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-intel8x0] snd-timer 8192 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 24032 0 [snd-intel8x0] snd-mixer 23536 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-ac97-codec] snd 37008 1 [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm-plugin snd-mixer-oss snd-card-intel8x0 snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mixer] soundcore 2800 2 [snd] supermount 14224 2 (autoclean) reiserfs 128592 6 So best I can tell the sound card is setup correctly, but I still get no sound. I figured this would be an "easy" fix, but after searching mandrake mailing lists and mandrakeuser.org I am more confused than ever. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Jerry
