The VIA 82C686A/B is card 0. Card 1 is the modem. Nothing on the VIA is muted. The third "3D Contr" is shut off or not implemented but that shouldn't stop all sound. > lsb_release -a peter@dalton:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy) Release: 7.5 Codename: wheezy Also there is a short tone at the early stage of machine startup, from both the internal speaker and from a speaker connected to the headphone socket. The BIOS must signal the sound hardware and the sound hardware then produces sound. Regards, ...
