This is a very frustrating problem and I haven't found a fix yet myself. The computer I have is an HP Compaq nc6320. Here are some details from my setup: lspci |grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
pulseaudio is currently server version 0.9.16 (upgraded from PPA per comment #11 above) Default Sink: auto_null Default Source: auto_null.monitor linked to library version 0.9.16 compiled with library vrsion 0.9.14 System>Preferences>Sound>Hardware> no device shown System>Preferences>Sound>Output> Dummy Output (Stereo) I was going to try some settings from #13 above but I don't see that setting... Can you elaborate on "Does your user have permission via PolicyKit or otherwise to access @audio?" My user is an administrator user and all privileges are checked in the User Manager. The only way I have been able to get sound is by modifying /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , adding the text below and then running 'sudo alsa force-reload' options snd-hda-intel model=AD198x The above workaround only works between reboots and apparently uses alsa instead of pulseaudio. Any ideas? I hope this gets fixed by release time because the Intel graphics are working a lot better in the Karmic version and I'd hate to not be able to recommend the upgrade. Thanks!
