Help , I don't have sound

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

Re: Help , I don't have sound

@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.

Re: Help , I don't have sound

I forgot alsa-info.sh requires bash shell.

[c]tazpkg -gi bash[/c]

Hit enter which is No when it asks if you want to make Bash the default.

[c]./alsa-info.sh[/c]

Re: Help , I don't have sound

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.
