Public bug reported:
Hello everyone :-)
If anyone can provide some piece of advice on this, I'd be more than
grateful:
I have a Toshiba Satellite P100-347 with as a Graphic Card an Nvidia GeForce
7900.
I installed Feisty Fawn (Kubuntu) on dual boot as I am a newB, and was very
happy with the internet connection but not as much with the sound: I just can't
hear anything.
Using different Plugins and packages to allow MP3 being readen by Amarok,
Totem, VCL...
I did however not manage to get any sound.
I guess the driver of the Graphic card does not work properly.
Nvidia does not provide drivers for Ubuntu on their websites, as far as I know.
What I noticed using Ubuntu's resticted Driver Manager,
is that the Graphic card has been found as being indeed "a GeForce 7900",
but Kubuntu does not realise it is a Graphic Card: "Device" is marked as
"unknown"
Let me again praise the work of Ubuntu developers:
For what I already have: Thanks a LOT ;-) !!!
if you can get me the sound to work,
I'll definitely make my way to engage in the open source community.
yours Faithfully,
Greg kiwmann.
