sound on laptop

[Juan Hernandez]

hello everyone I have a problem,

I installed fedora core 2 on my sony vaio pcgfxa53 notebook.  I upgraded the kernel to  2.6.8.1.  I know from past expeariance, on my desktop, I had to unmute the sound on my computer, so I did amixer set Master 100 unmute, I did this, and I am not getting any sound.  when ever I play try to play an mp3, some how, the system speaker is disabled.  what I mean is when you are at a prompt, and if you hit backspace, you usually hear a beep, in my case this is not the case.  when I rebookt the laptop wit works, but when I go and play a mp3, or try and configure the sound it doesn't work.  any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  thanks

Make sure you also unmute and adjust the volume for the PCM volume. The master
only controls the entire card. You need to change volume for individual elements
to listen to different sounds.

Did you follow the installation instructions in our HOWTO for the
Speakup Modified Fedora Distribution?

It sounds like you neglected to create an initrd with the pcspkr module.

Is it the system speaker or the sound card that doesn't work?  For the pc 
speaker use the --withpcspkr option in your mkinitrd command.  It's in the 
fadora howto.
