modprobe dmasound
yet when i do this nothing happens. :confused:
Can anybody tell me what I should do to make this work?
Apreciate any help

So when you do modprobe dmasound, I'm assuming you get another prompt and you dont' recive any error. In that case, you probably have sound now, but its muted, in which case you could try download something like xmms (found at www.xmms.org) (http://www.xmms.org)) and using its built in mixer to unmute sound. You could also try the mixer that comes with Gnome, gmix. Good luck and have fun
