I mean I could not hear a sound when playing video files on my box. How could I enable it?

I'm using Jaunty and even on my XP guest OS I could not hear any sound when playing any mp3 files and others.

Please help.... :D

Thank you for the pointer. However I cannot seem to edit the required file - alsa-base.conf - it's read-only and apparently the owner of the file is "root". I can't change the permissions. Any tips??

Thanks

gksu gedit /path/to/file

Im sorry mga bro.. I almost forgot to update this thread..!

Okey na yung sound ko...Hindi ko lang alam how it works pero after ng fresh install ko with Karmic biglang nagkaroon ng sound ang laptop ko..!

Thanks sa mga nagreply... ;)

Bro,

Piece of advice, do not enable the Software Modem in the Hardware Drivers. My sounds were gone after I activated it. Thanks!

On my box, the only enabled driver is Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver.
