Hi,I’m a newbie,just install 11.1 on my laptop,spec is :
HP Compaq Presario CQ40-115AU
AMD 780G IGP
ATI Radeon HD3200 graphic card
AMD Turion 64x2 processor
2GB DDR2 RAM.
Problem is,no sound at all. My sound card is :
SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
RS780 Azalia Controller
Can someone help me? Thanks! 
I note in this thread a user has a sound device which may be an Azalia and they also have no sound No soundcard recognized - openSUSE Forums Can you confirm you have alsa-firmware installed?
Can you provide more info?
First , to test if your sound is working, I recommend you try copy and pasting the following into a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole:speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twavyou should hear a lady’s voice saying “front-left”, “front-right” five times. Note Linux is case sensitive.
If that does not work, please try a shorter form version:speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twavIf you hear sound (ie if you hear the lady’s voice), then please post here, let us know this fact, and explain more as to what your sound problem might be.
If your sound still does not work with those tests, can you run a script and some commands for me to provide more information? With your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.
Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole and post the output here.rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
Finally, are you using KDE-3.5.10 ? KDE-4.1.3 ? or Gnome ?
