Which slitaz version you use stable-2.0 or cooking-20100221 ?

Sorry, Stable 2.0.
Thanks

1. External speakers connected, on,verified as working ?

2. Menu/Multimedia/AlsaMixer:
Card: what is listed ?
Master,PCM,Wave sliders all up,turn off mute(00=yes+green)at base of every bar. M key toggles mute,left/right arrow keys highlight active control.
Up arrow=Up Volume

3. Open xterm,become root:

root@slitaz: tazhw detect-pci

Enter

Does it show >Module in use: snd_cmipc

4.

root@slitaz: soundconf

Enter
Does menu list your card ?

If yes click ok.

Google said the module for the cm8338 is snd-cmipc:
/lib/modules/2.6.25.5-slitaz/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipc

5. See if it's loaded:

lsmod | grep cmipc

6. Still no Sound :
post output from

lspci | grep audio

When I use soundconfig have two lines of text, the cm8338 and a second line that says:

Legacy probe legacy ISA (non pnp) chips.

The whole procedure that says, soundcard detected correct, but still no sound, the volume control is disabled.

(On this computer I installed win 2000 and the sound works right.)

Thanks

I've put bold numbers by each step above.

You want slitaz sound you still have more work to do.

Report back exactly what happens on step 3.

Step 1.Speakers OK since sound works Win2k
Step 2,Can you open alsamixer ? What do you mean by volume disabled ?
Step 3. VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE DO FIRST
Step 4. Soundcard is recognized,ignore legacy ISA, it always appears.
Step 5. DO AFTER STEP 3
Step 6. DO IF SOUND STILL BROKEN copy from terminal to comment

hello again, I detail the steps I followed the instructions according:

2. I open alsamixer and configure the controls, the volume control panel on the desktop is crossed and if I enable it again disable

3. tazhw detect-pci
