Help....nothing can be heard in mandriva.....files are getting played but no sound.... I have already created a thread.. reposting here...

System: Dell Studio 1535
Chipset: Intel GM/PM 965
Audio Device: IDT 92HD73C ( as shown in BIOS)

In mandriva, when I entered lspcidrake -v at console, the audio device is shown as snd_hda_intel : 82801H (ICH

But when I entered /sbin/chkconfig --list sound & /sbin/chkconfig --list alsa, an error message is shown - "error: no such file or directory"

the file chkconfig does exist in the given path.... Help me

later I tried installing omega 10 and fedora 9.... all of them is having the same problem...

I downloaded the Mandriva One edition.. liked it.. Installed it insided Ubuntu on Virtualbox.. now i'm thinking that should i download the Mandriva's DVD version or should go for Ubuntu 8.10...

#include <offtopic.h>
How do i download the wi-fi drivers for HP 520 lap.. Ubuntu 8.04.1 doesn't even detects it.. its not really a problem though.. but still you never know when you get into trouble..
