Why won't my sound work?

[Stephen]

Okay, so I couldn't find alsamixer and couldn't run it through the command line. But everything else in Multimedia >> Sound I opened and turned up all the volumes. Still no sound.
When I click on the MP3 it opens it using XMMS.

So why does my sound still not work? Any more suggestions?

If you have installed to the HD then open a console window and use su to become root and then /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig then edit the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add aumix -v 75 -w 75 to the bottom of the file to have the default volume set on boot. If you are running from the CD use the cheat code knoppix alsa when you boot.
