If you do not have sound after your installation, you may need to run the sound configuration utility. As root, type sndconfig in a terminal window.
Note
sndconfig must be run in runlevel 3.
If the sndconfig application does not help, you may need to select the Enable sound server startup option under the Multimedia=>Sound in the GNOME Control Center.
To do this, click on Panel=>Programs=>Settings=>GNOME Control Center to launch the GNOME Control Center. In the GNOME Control Center, select the Sound submenu of the Multimedia menu. On the right, a General sound menu will appear. Select Enable sound server startup and then click OK.
