problem is, everything as far as 3 of us can see, audio sets up as it should, modules are loaded, settings configured, nothing is muted at all. I've tried ALSA and OSS w/ the same result. All seemingly loaded properly, but still no sound at all.
This is an Enpower 770 laptop from www.pcclub.com.

I've tried Fedora Core 5 mainly, but SUSE 10.0, 10.1, and Gentoo 2006.0, Mandriva 2006, Ubuntu 6, and Slackware 10 all produce the same result. Seemingly all setup and working fine, just, it doesn't make any sound at all.
I've even had this machine dual-boot w/ WinXP, made sure all volume settings w/ the function keys, and windows volumes were all set up as high as possible before I left windows behind (which btw sound works in windows no prob.)
windows audio drivers are here: http://pcclub.com/support_downloads_...745C2A3F17489A
I haven't a clue what to do to get this working, maybe someone can help me out.
