hello darren you need to create a script, (that has to be run after every reboot,) that persuades the system that your sound card is supported. to do this, open a text editor (applications/accessories/ then gedit or mousepad (dunno what is installed per default on lucid). paste the following lines (without the ==....marker) into a new document... =========== #!/bin/bash modprobe snd-hda-intel echo '8086 3b57' > '/sys/bus/pci/drivers/HDA Intel/new_id' ===========
save it (e.g. as /home/<your username>/audio.sh). open a terminal (applications/accessories/terminal) (this is quite similar to a dos box). you can output the script file with cat <filename> (e.g. "cat audio.sh" (if you saved the script in your home directory). to tell the system, that the script can be executed, type "chmod u+x <filen ame>" and hit <enter> than you can try if it works with "sudo ./<filen ame>" (it will ask your password, because sudo gives you admin power). you should then be able to hear audio in music and music players etc. (dont forget to adjust the volume settings, they could be muted). if that worked you can tell the system, that it should execute that script whenever your system is booted, otherwise you would have to execute after every (re)boot (by opening a terminal and executing "sudo ./<filen ame>" like in the last step). id suggest, that you wait for the kernel update, that fixes the problem (in a few weeks). if you want to configure it anyway please read http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Making_scripts_run_at_boot_time_with_Debian or ask in the ubuntuforums hope that helps -- Sound card not detected on Lenovo T410s with Ubuntu Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
