    look into KMIX (in KDE) and see that the sounds are not muted. i had it happening to me for like 2-3 days.

        Yeah the key to gettin ur sound workin is definitely findin out what sound card u got. Then try use google.com/linux to search for ur sound card. Also does edulinux use ALSA or OSS for its sound?:cheers:

          The command "lspci -vv" (as root) will tell you what sound chip you have, look for the entry about the 'Multimedia audio controller', here is mine as an example,
          [code:1:31f07bec3e]
          bern@beast bern$ su -c 'lspci -vv'

          The module for this chip is snd-intel8x0, you can check if it's loaded with the "lsmod" command (again as root), eg:
          [code:1:31f07bec3e]
          bern@beast bern$ su -c lsmod
