Hi just been messing about with my first ever linux OS on my PC when eventually after about 28 hours i realised there was no sound

I have tryed a few combos for drivers off other posts but to no avail
my mobo is an MSI MS480M2-IL and MSI offer no linux drivers to DL off their website.

I dont realy know where to start as most of the sollutions on the forum are for laptops if you need anyinfo please just ask.

p.s I cannot give you anyinfo from what is said when you type in for example
sudo modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
because I do not know how to cut/copy and paste from the terminal

cheers, Aaron

Maybe give the alsadebs.dsl extension from the MyDSL repository a try. Be sure to follow the instructions from the *.info file.

I believe ALSA is easy to install and run very well using DSL from LiveCD but is hardly to install correctly on DSL installed to hard disk. Then before you try to install the ALSA driver, try if you can get sound using the sndconfig utility.
You download sndconfig, so:

1. Is a Debian utility then you need enable APT (if was not enable before):
Apps >> Tools >> Enable Apt

2. Open ATerminal and write commands:

dsl@box:~$ sudo su

root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get update

3. After the process is finished, download the Debian utility package.

root@box:/home/dsl# apt-get install sndconfig

4. Execute the utility with the option --noprobe so:

root@box:/home/dsl# sndconfig --noprobe

With the driver that sndconfig assigns by defect, choose between the different resource assignation combinations (irq, dma, port)

5. Testing:

Launch XMMS player.
Click rightbutton over XMMS
Click to "Play Location" and write:

tone://1000

Click OK

You should hear a 1000 Hz tone, if all went well. If fails return to 4 step to change and to try other combination.

4. Execute the utility:

root@box:/home/dsl# sndconfig

The utility automatically do the configuration and play a sound sample.

Sorry, my second post is similar to the first post by a mistake during the "copy and paste" operation. Only I want remark that executing sndconfig without the --noprobe option as on 4 step from my second post the utility does an automatic configuration.
