I had a similar problem . Try to right click on volume option at top right corner screen. You should be seeing a option for Mixer. Try to use all possible configurations in mixer available. I used it that ways and it works because it was not selected as default device.
Also check whether UBUNTU has disabled this drivers or not. Sometimes drivers which are proprietary they need to be enabled before they are used for system . IT was problem with Broadcom lan card of dell studio 1535. On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 5:44 PM, pramod v <[email protected]> wrote: > What version of ubuntu are you using.
