Ubuntu problems( no sound)
I'm not entirely sure. My friend had to manually install his sound drive back on, but when I first got Ubuntu Gutsy, my sound was fine.
P.S. Ubuntu forums are really helpful for these kinda things. No offense to HBH, but Ubuntu is FULL of people who I'm sure had to deal with the same crap Dx Try there if you haven't already.
the first step for people to help you is:
tell us what computer are you using, and specify the sound card, especially.
you already mentioned your distro, which helps the first piece of the puzzle.
i'm not suprised if you use an acer pc, actually. acer computers suck when it comes to linux (hell it sucks on windows by itself)
in fact, one of my friends have this issue, but on 7.04, and he managed to fix it with some help from the internet.
as a volunteer for the Ubuntu support channel i have to reply to this because i know alot about this topic :P. When i first started Ubuntu i had the same problem.
- check and make sure your sound settings are on alsa mixer and make sure its not muted
- check your restricted drivers and make sure its enabled
- If all that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
i read the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting.. i tried this: aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice : subdevice card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice : subdevice

You're an idiot.
Also the command is alsaconf, but that only tends to resolv the machine configuring the wrong device at boot time.
Didn't have time to rea the whole thread but apt-cache search (chipset) might throw up something useful, else #ubuntu
as i have a hda_intel_sound chip too and i had to put a 'model=toshiba' in my sound, i suggest, you try that too! edit '/etc/modprobe.d/sound' and try either 'model=toshiba', 'model=acer' or 'model=3stack', reboot and you should be fine to go! if none of the above work, put try putting them to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, you should have a line that looks like this: 'options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba'! if not, there is always #alsa on freenode, where you can ask! hope, that helps!
oh, and don't get confused by the models, i don't have a toshiba, but it works! ;)
/edit// reading all the post might have helped, never saw, that he solved the prob already!

Maybe, but the "I'm a volunteer in #ubuntu on freenode"
That's like saying you fuck your sister regularly, we're not impressed.
Fact is ubuntu is a pretty useless distro for all but a few select purposes, and trying to fix that is pointless.
Get a proper distro.
Also, it's worth noting that my asus laptop(with intel and toshiba hardware) worked off the bat with alsa and debian.
