Hi,
I installed Mandriva 2008 1. and I never had sound . My sound card is M-audio 2496 Audiophile.The on board sound chip is disabled from the bios.
I am new in linux so I tryied several live distributions (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, suse,dsl,) with no sound problem.
I run the bug sound tester and I had the following results :( note that the "grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf" command gives no response)
[root@localhost panagiotis]# lspcidrake -v |fgrep AUDIO
snd_ice1712 : VIA Technologies Inc.|ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1412 device:1712 subv:1412 subd:d634)
[root@localhost panagiotis]# grep sound-slot /etc/modules.conf
[root@localhost panagiotis]# /sbin/lsmod
