I have no sound. I just checked and there is no more modprobe.conf being used in new kernels, but my antix-8 wont recognize my intergrated soound card, I ran alsaconf three times with no success. In another distro on the same box there is a file named sound in modprobe.d which contains the following entries.

alias snd-card-0 snd-es18xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-es18xx

In antix-8 which file do i need to put this aliases so that the the drivers for my sound card can be loaded, I took a look at modprobe.d but their are too many files with names that might have something to to with sound that I don't know which file to place them in. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance __{{emoticon}}__ .

From a terminal, as root (I think; not sure and I'm not running Antix now to check) you could try alsamixer and check the volume, and increase it, if that's the problem.

Regards,

Pedro

Upgrade alsa and alsa-utils and a file named sound (or sound.conf) should be created.
However, alsaconf will then be removed as it is no longer in alsa-utils Debian Testing.

Thank you all for your input. I tried what both replies had said with no success. But since I had an extra sound card laying around I put it in and run alsaconf, it configured it successfully and am good to go. I know that's not a real solution but I have exams on Monday and didn't have time to sort out the issue. Now back to books.

NB: Knowing myself I know I will be back at it later and give it another go.
