Sound not working on Mandriva + Toshiba Laptop

[Sound not working on Mandriva + Toshiba Laptop]

OK I now have sound!! I looked on various other forums and the eventual fix was :

 

open a terminal

sudo kwrite /etc/modules

 

when the document opens, add snd-sbawe to it

save it, close it and reboot

 

When I did this the mixer was available in KDE and I just had to adjust the levels.

Hi all,

 

I am a complete newbie to Linux, I have literally just finished installing it on my laptop, most things are up and running but I have no sound and don't know where to get a driver etc from or how to install it!! I have a "Linux for Dummies" book that i'm working my way through but I wondered if anyone could tell me how2 ??

 

I have installed Mandriva, the system is a Toshiba Equium A60.

 

Thanks
