No sound card detected

After HD install everything ( after manual installation of wireless drivers ralink ) everything is going well, except.... no sound. All I hear is a beep from the motherboard form time to time....

I don't no what I am suppused to do, am I missing an audio driver? If so where do I get it?

Here are some command to give some info about th machine:

uname -a

Linux crunchbang 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 16 16:22:28 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

lspci | grep -i audio

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 1e20 (rev 04)

aplay -l

aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...

Welcome aboard HFont; just to be sure, you did check alsamixer to see if any cards showed up.

(I had an HP with Intel & had to use a later sound driver than came with 2.6.32.)

Re: No sound card detected

I updated to kernel 3.2 from the backport repositories... Working like a charm... Thanks for helping me out junkie! I hope I can fulfil this task of helping out others very soon...

Any chance anybody knows how to turn of the beeps from my motherboard? (ex it beeps when I try to enter a number with the numpad but the numlock isn't on)

Maybe mute 'beep' or 'speaker' in alsamixer, worth a try.

Try xset -b or disabling it in BIOS.
