So I installed Kubuntu 7.10 on my laptop and I have no sound, well
sound that is so low might as well be no sound. So I went to this
link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and followed
the directions but either got error's or such.
Code:
aplay -l

(3) Check to see if the ALSA driver for your sound card exists. Go
to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ and search for your sound
card (chipset) manufacturer in the dropdown box. You'll be given a
matrix of the sound cards made by the manufacturer. Try to match the
chipset you found in step 2 with the driver(green hyperlink text).
Ok so I end up at
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-ATI in the
box it shows

ATI-IXP southbridge HD-audio and modem SB450
So my ALSA driver for this card exists, right?
So...
Code:
sudo modprobe snd-
Quote
Now, press the TAB key BEFORE pressing the ENTER key to see a list
of modules. Try to find the module that matches the driver you found
in step 3.
For example, my driver is a via82xx so I would type, sudo modprobe
snd-via82xx.
So I enter
Code:
sudo modprobe snd-SB450
Quote
FATAL: Module snd_SB450 not found.
Code:
sudo modprobe snd_SB450
Quote
FATAL: Module snd_SB450 not found.
So means the drivers are not or did not install?
So on to the next step.

Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel
Code:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
Went through it's list.
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
Same.
Re-booted as instructed.
Code:
aplay -l

Same thing as before. So move on to alsamixer this time there
is "new" items listed
But still no sound. It will not let me arrow up to change the 00's.

ALSA driver Compilation
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
module-assistant alsa-source
Now when it says (uname -r) it means I should put in james -r
because that's the user name, right?
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-header-$james -r
module-assistant
Quote
E: Command line option 'r' [from -r] is not known.
also tried
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-header-$ james -r
module-assistant
Quote
E: Command line option 'r' [from -r] is not known.
OK so other than "Your to stupid to use linux switch back to M$,
What am I missing and/or did wrong?
Thanks,
James
