why do I have no sound?

when I install with KDE and Gnome, I have sound. But now that I am trying to install a system devoid of KDE, I have no sound. all the sound services are running, and it appears to find the appropriate modules at boot. also the soundcard is using the proper driver.

What apps have you tried running? Apps like xmms & xine can use a range of drivers, eg OSS, ALSA, arts, etc... If you've not installed KDE then you can't use arts. So make sure the driver is set to either OSS or ALSA (depending on what your using).

 

If that fails, keep an eye on the text that scrolls up the screen during boot up. At some point it should say starting ALSA.

I have done so, I tried esound, alsa and OSS, and got no sound from either.

 

not sure if it'll help, but here's my /etc/modules.conf

 

alias net-pf-4 ipx

probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi

alias eth0 8139too

above snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1

probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
