- <p>Your sound card may not have been detected properly. If this has happened,
- your computer will think that it isn't able to play sound. A possible reason
- for the card not being detected properly is that the drivers for the card are

- <p>If your sound card is not detected, you may need to manually install the
- drivers for it. How you do this will depend on the card you have.</p>
-
- <p>You can see what sound card you have by using the <cmd>lspci</cmd> command
- in the Terminal. You may have to run <cmd>lspci</cmd> as
- <link xref="user-admin-explain">superuser</link>; either type <cmd>sudo lspci</cmd>
- and type your password, or type <cmd>su</cmd>, enter the <em>root</em>
- (administrative) password, then type <cmd>lspci</cmd>. See if an
- <em>audio controller</em> or <em>audio device</em> is listed—it should have the
- sound card's make and model number. <cmd>lspci -v</cmd> will show a list with
- more detailed information.</p>
