It is possible that your Integrated Sound is turned OFF in the computer's BIOS.

Try pressing the "F2" key during the initial Dell boot screen.

Then go into your BIOS menu and see if you have your Integrated Sound set to "enabled" or "on". If it is turned off, then change the setting and then save and exit and reboot.

Hopefully this will do it. If not, I am at a loss to explain why the sound does not work.

You need the backup.tar.gz that comes inside the DSL-embedded virtual drive. It contains a command for your /opt/bootlocal.sh that loads the sound driver.

Hi,
I will not have backup file in the virtual drive unless i save something. am i missing something important here? I ran audio file, booting DSL using USB drive. later gave backup/restore to sda1. then copied the backup.tar.gz file to the virtual drive. whilel booting from emulator it says tha it is restoring data from the virtual drive(hdc4 in my case)...but still sound is not there. what could be wrong. plz help.
