onboard sound with ubuntu

[Matthew Whiting]

Hi all, Still haven't had any success getting sound working with ubuntu. I did ask some questions a while back but unfortunately didn't get far afterwards. Current status is I've just tried working through the instructions on http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=.&chip=440MX%2C+i810%2C+i810%2C+i810E%2C+i820%2C+i820&module=intel8x0 as suggested by Nick in a post a few months ago. Get as far as installing the alsa packages and inserting modules into kernel, then try running alsamixer and am told alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device. Not sure how to proceed. kernel is 2.6.10-5-386, alsa driver 1.0.9b, and according to lspci audio details are 0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definiti on Audio Controller (rev 03) Cheers Matthew
