When AntiX 13.2 came out, I downloaded the antix-13_386-full.iso for 32-bit and burned it to a cd. It has been working great. This morning, after reading about the big fixes, I did the following:

apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-3.7.10-antix.7-486-smp linux-headers-3.7.10-antix.7-486-smp

Everything seemed to go okay. I rebooted my machine, and then decided to look at YouTube videos. No sound. I checked that the volume was turned up -- OKAY. I checked the Control Center - seems okay but no sound. I tried the speakers on another machine and they work, I tried different speakers on here, but still no sound.

I am showing in System Information Debian GNU/Linux 7.2 on a Pentium III (Coppermine) w/ 512 mb memory. Motherboard from Dell Optiplex GX110.

I've rebooted three times, and can't see any errors. I did a complete shutdown for 5 minutes and then tried again. I see no errors, but I still have no sound. Now I'm lost as to what else to do or look for. I tried a google search"linux Intel 82801AA no sound" but I have found nothing. Could this old Intel MB sound died?

HELP

Try running this as root.

# alsactl init

you may or may not get any output from the command. try your sound after that.

Tried it. It worked. What would cause this??

I don't know, but I had the same issue. the debian and arch wiki's can be your friend!
