12.04 alternative cli install - Sound

[dcuster]

12.04 alternative cli install + xorg + openbox

I'm looking to get some sound going. I'm hoping to have the sound set up like my wifi with Wicd where i just did sudo apt-get install wicd then ran wicd-client -n to configure. I have no panels, bars, etc... I have no need. I just would like to install something for sound, and be able to run a gui that I can edit my input/output prefrences. I am new to linux, so sorry if this question is stupid. I'm looking for the meathod with the smallest footprint.

Plz&Thx:popcorn:

Not installed, are you saying that if i insall alsa-utils then my sound will work, and I can confiigure through a gui by running alsamixer? Assuming my sound card is supported, which it is. :confused:

It's not a definite yes that it will give you sound, but it's easier to adjust controls when you have some controls to adjust.

worked. one more question, in the link you gave me, the window on the left, what is that package called?

[jmfal]

That is alsamixer.
Open a terminal and enter

alsamixer

IF message shows not installed run

sudo apt-get install alsamixer

and run first command to open.
