I got the same sound card as your, mine is works fine without any problem.

 

make sure you plug in the right jacket.

 

to check the sound use: (need to use root use: su)

 

Code:

# system-config-soundcard

 

you might want to install gnome-alsamixer

 

Code:

# apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

 

hope this help you.

im haveing the same problem. when i type

 

apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

bash: apt-get: command not found

Mattman, check out apt.freshrpms.net, there you can find the apt-get package.

 

This will solve all of your rpm needs.

 

Check other forums on how to install apt-get, or how to configure it. It's very easy, and much nicer than up2date.

 

Anyway, if you have any questions on this, just ask. o_O

now i get this

 

[root@localhost mattman87]# apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

Reading Package Lists... Done

Building Dependency Tree... Done

E: Couldn't find package gnome-alsamixer

always use apt-get this way

 

first thing to do is update it !

 

Code:

apt-get update

 

next thing is to get whatever you want

 

Code:

apt-get install some_package

 

an easier way is to do it in one line like so

 

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install some_package

 

hope this helps

 

cheers
