How to activate the sound control in Linux?

Buddies if any of you are in the know please tell me how to activate the sound control in Linux, when the sound cards are installed and when it seems to work very well in WindowsXP. As a matter of fact I have installed both Windows and Linux.

How to activate the sound control in Linux?
You don't say which Linux, but in any event the sound for Unix (anyway) are ALSA, an opensource project. Follow the link below. You need to list your soundcard chip ID in a Terminal session. There are instructions.





A personal note, my SoundBlaster Live! card sounds great in WIN and it is because of the software that came with the card.





After I installed the correct ALSA recommendation I still had a teenie sound in my Unix distro. I then went and looked for any sound packages. I installed a mixer control panel. It helped the sound a little bit, and it added an option for 5.1 stereo or 2 channel. It's still not great, but it works.
