   Hi guys , I have installed Slitaz on my Compaq presario 2500 ,Pentium4, Ram 512MB,18GB HDD but I have no sound coming out of the speakers....
   I have checked if it's "muted" by the sound controls but everything seems ok
   Speakers are Ok (checked with live cd of another linux distro)
   Any ideas?

   Have in mind that I am not a high experienced user
   Thanks in advance

   @nik0laus, run alsamixer from a terminal and make sure nothing is muted. If a channel is muted there should be 'MM'. Pressing 'm' on your keyboard will unmute it. Also check whether you have selected the correct sound card - if you have more than one card.

   I forgot alsa-info.sh requires bash shell.
   tazpkg -gi bash
   Hit enter which is No when it asks if you want to make Bash the default.
   ./alsa-info.sh

   Alsa_info/amixer shows alsamixer PCM control is muted and has 0 volume.

   Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
   Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
   Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
   Limits: Playback 0 - 31
   Mono:
   Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [off]
   Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [off]

   Open alsamixer, use the left/right arrow keys to highlight PCM.
   Toggle mute off with the m key so the square is green with 00.
   Increase the volume with the up arrow key.
