If you open the systemsettings control panel and go into Media I believe, you can play with the phonon components and change plugin usage and hardware usage. You might want to install the phonon-vlc components, they worked well for me on my 7.1 usb hardware. Also, make sure your sound levels are not muted... you might want to run &#39;alsamixer -V all&#39; from the command line and un-mute anything that is muted. Then when you have your levels set nicely, run &#39;sudo alsactl store&#39;<div>

I could use some help on how to get sound working on a new (for me anyway) system I recently rescued (rescued = replaced power supply and overwrote corrupt Windows installation with Linux).  This system has an ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard with an on board 8 channel sound controller.<br>

<br>
I ran the alsa-info.sh script and it stored my config out at<br>

<br>
I have a known working pair of powered speakers attached to the appropriate output for only 2 speakers (according to the ASUS documentation). but am getting absolutely nothing.<br>
<br>
I am running Fedora 15 PAE kernel, KDE 4.6.5-1<br>
<br>
Nothing I have tried so far has worked -- I am not very savvy when it comes to sound cards.  Any help/poinjters would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
<br>
