Is your sound card recognized by the kernel: To test it, have a look at the output of % dmesg | grep pcm If that yields nothing, you have load the pcm module: # kldload pcm If that didn't work, you will have to tell us more about your chipset. Otherwise, you can now test your mixer device on the command line before trying Gnome again: % mixer prints your current volume settings. Simon
