Hello all,

hi guyz,
I have a intel machine with ICH5 chipset. The sound card is onboard.
I have loaded RHEL 4 but it didnot configure the sound card. So I downloaded the OSS installer and ran it. OSS installation completed without any problem but still the speakers are silent.
The osstest says that it checks left , right and stereo and finds it ok. But there is still no sound.
