RHEL4 Sound

Dear GLLUGers,

This is my machine.

Linux penguin.dcs.bbk.ac.uk 2.6.9-11.EL #1 \
Fri May 20 18:17:57 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Sound configuration reports an Intel AC'97 Audio Controller
which uses the module snd-intel8x0. Unfortunately, there is
no sound.

Does anyone know how I can get sound working?

Regards,

Are the appropriate mixer channels unmuted and set to a reasonable
level?

Run alsamixer, set the levels and muting right, then try telling xmms to
use its alsa09 driver to play an MP3. Failing that, check that other
sound software like esd and artsd aren't running.

simple suggestions first...
alsamixer?
Volumes in ALSA are muted by default, IIRC

Dear Stuart & Others,

Many thanks for your help. I had the port muted. Doh...

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for your help, which I had to read very carefully
before realising that it was correct. Please take this as a
compliment!
