I would suggest you play around with the volumes which can sometimes not be what you expect. For example, on my system, the master and PCM volumes dont seem to do anything, but the Headphone control changes the volume.
On my other, backup system, it has a bass and treble volume control, and they are the only ones that work.
So just changing the master volume might not be doing anything for you.
]]>did you check out the alsamixer volumes ?
]]>I ran alsaconf. It configured the soundcard. Only it gives no sound. That is because Virtual PC sets a SB16 with IRQ 5,220 and 330 Where can I tell the system to use these parameters?
they are provided with modprobe and funny, they are not working - maybe you need to also set DMA or other settings? i dont know

- check afterwards the lsmod for new stuff
- RH is not volvo - volvos (at least the older ones, the 100% swede 0%US) are excellent cars!! ... with the new investors and new concept they are messing around

and addapt the values to your system respectively virtual-pc programme (and check, if the virtual-pc programme allows the os running to access sound)
]]>To make use of Arch on the job (laptop) I installed Virtual PC. Works good. Yipiieeee. But I can 't get sound in VPC. Normally you have to configure a Soundblaster 16 with irq etc... in the OS. Is this possible in Arch too?
Hellup???? :shock:
