no sound, internal sound not detected?

[sujinge9]

I just switched from windows XP, and unfortunately, I get no sound at all. I know this problem is commen, on this forum, but everyone else seems like they have an extra hardware or such plugged in so it didn't work. But I hvan't no clue what going on in mine. Please help.

First the simple things:

May be your setings are bad configured.

If you are using KDE, try

Kmix

If you are using Gnome, try

gnome-volme-manager

Any way, you can try:

alsamixer fron console or terminal.

Pay special atention to PCM and Front sliders

Play a while with the controls, but if this doesn't work, then get a terminal or console and type:

lspci

and see in this group for problems and solutions related with your sound hardware.
