Kernel modules for sound are installed ("find /lib/modules/`uname -r` |
grep snd" returns plenty)

"lspci -v" returns the following Audio device:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio 
Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1505
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
        Memory at d9300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

"sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" doesn't fix it....


I tried the reinstallation of drivers as described on the Sound Troubleshooting 
page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting), and it ran to 
completion but produced this error during, which seemed a little odd:
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched 
"linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27-11-generic"
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched 
"linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.27-11-generic"

Then I followed the prompts to restart, and it had not fixed the
problem.

Then I tried compiling the ALSA driver, and ran into a problem compiling
the linux-headers-2.6.27-11-generic source...

Doesn't look too tidy. Anyone know it this could be our problem?

Last but not least I restored to the supposed-correct drivers using the
"sudo aptitude --purge --reinstall" instruction listed in
refreshing/reinstalling the drivers, which prompted a reboot but again
did not solve the problem.

Needless to say, I'm not at my happiest right now having spent a couple
of hours trying to fix something that worked perfectly fine yesterday.
I've also rebooted into Vista to double-check it's not a hardware
problem and the speakers work fine from there. It's definitely a problem
with Ubuntu, and something that's been changed in the last week.

** Summary changed:

- New! no sound from external speakers. Sound from headset only.
+ New! no sound from external speakers. Sound from USB headset only.

** Summary changed:

- New! no sound from external speakers. Sound from USB headset only.
+ New! Sound vanished from speakers. Sound from USB headset only.
