No sound, but no error might indicate a problem with one of the levels. You might need to try several different mixers before you find one that shows all the levels and mute options supported by your hardware. I've ran into some cases that I could only resolve with the console alsamixer and not through mixers running under X. > I tried following through this ( > http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/10964/how-to-fix-sound-issues-in-ubuntu-9.10/ > ) , but I can't get the default sound driver GUI to show up. Have you tried the ALSA Upgrade Script covered in one of the steps above? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 I used it with success for about a year until Ubuntu started packaging a new enough version to support my laptop's hardware. > I've been scrounging the net... The key to finding the answer to audio problems is making your searches very hardware specific. Specify your motherboard model number, your audio chipset family name and model, etc. This increases your chances that the suggested solutions will be applicable to your situation. For example, one report for my laptop said to add: options snd-hda-intel model=<my laptop model> to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Something that wasn't covered by any of the generic troubleshooting guides. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
