If you installed crack of the day packages after you used the (unsupported) alsa upgrade script from the forums, then it sounds like drivers are not loading for you at all. Its very hard to try and get a system back to its proper package managed state, so don't be surprised if what I suggest you try, doesn't work.
1. Reinstall the following packages. This can be done with "apt-get --reinstall install packagename" in a terminal: alsa-base linux-sound-base libasound2 alsa-utils 2. Delete EVERYTHING under /usr/local that is ALSA related, i.e, the following binaries from /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin, and any libraries from /usr/local/lib called libasound, as well as the alsa subdirectory: alsamixer amixer amidi aplay iecset speaker-test aconnect aplaymidi arecordmidi aseqdump aseqnet alsactl alsa-utils arecord 3. Reboot your system, and if necessary, re-install the crack of the day alsa package from the Ubuntu Audio Dev PPA https://launchpad.net /~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive. Once you have done this, please run the following command in a terminal, which will get some more information about your hardware, hopefully with a loaded sound driver, which will retrieve more information that is not yet in this bug report. apport-collect -p alsa-base 653030 NOTE: When I say unsupported above, I mean unsupported in that the Ubuntu devs do not endorce 3rd party scripts which update core system components outside the package manager, i.e the procedure/script changes your system in a way that the package manager does not know about. Updating core components in such a way makes your system very hard, if not impossible to support from a distribution maintainer's point of view, so we cannot always help people with such systems, if they file bugs. Please get back to me on how you went with the attempt to return your system to a completely package managed state. affects ubuntu/alsa-driver status incomplete ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Soundcard "ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)" not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/653030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
