this gives the best system analysis of any query command i've found thus far. what we are looking for: does the system find the hardware ( look under the Audio section ) . does the system assign a driver to each identified hardware ? again, examine the audio section .
let us see what your system reports, please
if the system identifies the hardware and assigns a driver -- it should work. unless the driver is defective. { one might remember from Linx forums recently that nvidia's work on drivers,...... left something to be desired. that's not exactly how Linus put it though}
lastly we note they have Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) installed . this is evidently an extensive topic. i found a couple essays on it. more later .
