To be safe , I maxed out every component in alsamixer .
Still , Hear nothing .

[Juanito]

Did you check that the sliders in alsamixer were un-muted?

What hardware do you have?

[manit123]

yup , did
those with mm . i had pressed m to unmute .
Currently this is happening

Code: [Select]

$sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound  start
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
Something went wrong, sound was not set up.
$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$
that bar graph type output is not appearing .

How do I find hardware ?

[Juanito]

Use "lspci", "lsusb" and/or "aplay -l"

[manit123]

Here is output

Code: [Select]

$ aplay -l

Your hardware will probably "just work" on loading the alsa extension and using alsamixer to un-mute the desired output.

You could use something simple like xmms to play an mp3 to test things (use ctrl-p to set the output to alsa).
