are you sure there is no sound ? try opening alsamixer and scroll left and right and press 'm' , this will mute/unmute a channel., if one of them is muted it might explain the no-sound situation.
cheers

none of the channels seem to be muted. i am still struugling to get sound. i am using vlc player.
when i open volume control and go to edit-preferences, it brings up a new window called volume control preferences. Here it says select tracks to be visible some of which are headphone, pcm, front, surround etc. I have selected each one as suggested and then click on the close button. I then click the switches tab in the volume control: HAD intel(alsa mixer) and check and uncheck the options some of which are cd capture, line in capture etc. But i still do not get any sound. The strange thing is that while starting up mandriva, i do get the start up loading sound.

i am using on board sound. i am getting the feeling now that there is something buggy. I did get sound to work a while back but on adjusting volume controls in alsamixer, the sound does not seem to work after this.
anyone know why?
