I have just installed the Debian Linux/GNU distro. on my computer for the first time. Now this PC's motherboard has onboard audio. I need to install drivers for the onboard audio because all the audio is coming through the built in system speaker. How would I go about doing this because the olny drivers I can find on the net are .exe's. Does Linux have a device manager or something I can use to get my onboard audio workin? Thanks for any help in advance.

I really hate microshaft and like linux's layout an everything so it would be really nice if i could make my speakers work :)

It should have found them.. you can try alsaconf but it's reported broken..

If you have an ac97 chipset it's hard work.. I gave up and put an old card in I have hanging around.

as root do

lspci -v

and see what your sound hardware is.

Then on the toolbar top right .. right click the icon and check in preferences.. also in desktop preferences..

Hey thanks for the response, I played around with the audio settings n figured it out. It turns out linux picks up my speaker jack on the back of my pc as "headphone" so I just turned my headphone volume up. It would kinda be nice if linux would reconize it as my normal speaker jack, but as long as I got sound comin out im all good :).

If anyone has any ideas on how to make linux reconize my speaker jack as my speaker jack (instead of headphone) I would be gratefull for the tip .

BTW: I'm running Debian Linux/GNU and I like it alot (beats the livin S*** out of microshaft windows) :)

Thanks again for the tip varnull
