However, even with this, I have had some problems with sound on the same machine (inspiron 1525) - am not sure if this is the best solution, but what works for me is: sudo alsa force-reload this forces the system to use Alsa for sound and not pulseaudio. After loading alsa, you can type "alsamixer" and you'll get the Alsa volume controls - turning them all the way up should fix it. This is, imo, not a very good way to handle it, but for me, it works - perhaps someone has a better idea > > If its not, then do tell us the sound card/driver you are using.. the > command lspci would give you some details.. > Since i have a 1525, we probably have the same device - lspci gives me: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) If someone does have a good solution for this problem of low sound, I would like to know as well - doing an alsa force-reload every time I need to turn the volume up is really not the cleanest way to handle things :( Thanks! -Sanjay > > -- > Jay > "Impossible Is Nothing" > http://www.amonks.in > > -- > ubuntu-in mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in > >
