when you were installing the o/s was your sound card listed as one of the options for sound?

Which desktop application are you running? KDE, Gnome, other?

Do you have SUSE 9.1 by any chance? If so, they screwed up something with the Audigy cards. I have SUSE 9.1 with an Audigy (not an Audigy 2) and the following command fixed the sound problem for me:

amixer -c 0 cset numid=163 mute

If that works, let me know and I'll set you up so that this runs every time you boot up.

im running mandrake 10.1, and im pretty sure my card wasnt listed on the list, otherwise i shouldve seen it, but im not 100% sure.

ah yes, i am also using kde.

KDE, good choice! Click the star on the panel, configure your desktop. In the list should be sound, click the +, sound system, has enable button, and test. If the sound packages required are installed, you should yield results.

BTW, you'll find most of your system accessible thru that KDE interface.

A tip for all, in look-n-feel, behavior,general,set left mouse button to application menu. It's just a setting I prefer, you may or may not find it handy. with this setting if you click the left button on the desktop, the menu comes up same as clicking the star.
