Linux without sound??? NO WAY!

So you installed linux but you are not able of listening your favorite artists?

DO:

sudo aptitude install alsa-base alsa-utils alsamixergui linux-sound-base

After you install them try:

sudo alsaconf

This will search for a playback device and install it automatically.

Run alsamixergui and make sure nothing is muted, your speakers are on, connected to your pc, volumed up and working (!)

Install your favorite player (mplayer, vlc, xmms) or my favorite player (amarok) and enjoy!
