Other Help Topics :: ALS4000 issues...

Do you have the alsadebs.dsl loading along with dsl-dpkg.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl? Make sure you read the info files as cbagger01 suggested!  

If you want to try manually from the livecd to test things, use the mydsl icon on the desktop and look in the 'System' section. Install the files I mention above along with alsadebs. Then choose the 'Install ALSA' option in your menu. You should then have sound.

Good luck
