thank you very much ,now it works after using "pciprobe"

[Elmar]

fine

you know, you can add this command to the rc.local, then you dont have to run it manually.

Under plop 4.1.2
In terminal:
root@ploplinux ~]# pciprobe
Checking for other PCI hardware ...
Loading  ...................................   [snd-intel8x0]
[root@ploplinux ~]#

Still no sound.

So I further tried alsamixer in terminal, but as I never used it I do not know how to check if volume is muted.

    and all the mixer bars to bring the vol up and down.


i think below the mixers you will see "MM" that means mute. press "m" to unmute the mixer.

Well, I see at extreme left of alsamixer, a bar named <Master> and according to the fact that I key m it switches between "mm" and "00" and in both cases no sound.
Wanna lspci with another distro ?

with cursor up and down, you controll the volume in alsamixer. if available, then you have to set master and pcm

Solved thanks.
How can I make this permanent without relaunching each time alsamixer?
I uncommented in rc.local pciprobe ( why is it by the way, to boot faster ?)

i can tell it you the command, but investigate at first by yourself. years ago, i had to do it too

I uncommented in rc.local pciprobe ( why is it by the way, to boot faster ?)

how can it be faster with pciprobe when it has to load the correct modules first? i can't believe that it boots faster with pciprobe.
