Which motherboard is it? What does dmesg have to say when the sound hardware gets rousted at boot time?
Cheers,
It's a MSI Neo2-P 865PE, dmesg says lots of stuff so I attached the /var/log/dmesg file, tried grepping for snd, intel_snd8x0, and realtek. I don't really know what I'm looking for.
Have you made sure that your sound chipset is supported? That board appears to use the *C-Media 9739A. Here's a snippet I found in a quick google search that might help:*
**

4.5. Sound
4.5.1. Onboard: SiS 7012 (CMedia 9739A)
The required drivers are:
*
ALSA: snd-intel8x0
*
OSS: i810_audio
The following switches (e.g. kmix) have to be set correctly, otherwise there is no sound (this actually took me days to figure out):
*
PCM: unmute
*
IEC958 Capture Monitor: mute
The volume slides don't have any impact. According to the alsa-project mailing list this seems to be a hardware restriction. No resolution available right now, recommendation is to install another sound card (e.g. SB). I have checked this for OSS and found the same result.
