Re: unable to configure sound

Re: unable to configure sound

Yes, I have tried the ALSA wiki. And got to the point of modprobing. And havent got any further. If you need more info pls let know what i specific do you want. I would surely let you know further. I have a dual boot with mandriva, where the sound is working perfectly. In case you need some output from there. I could furnish that as well. Kindly help

Re: unable to configure sound

The only things I ever had to do to get sound in archlinux is this:

# pacman -S alsa-utils
# alsaconf

(and answer 'yes' when asked to modify the modprobe.conf-file)
