no sound in ubuntu 10.04

Asked by Laxman

Hi,
I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 all is well except no sound. I faced the same problem when upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Then I compiled the ALSA drivers and edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. The problem was solved.
BUT
This time same procedure failed.
Please help me.

Steps that helped when nothing else worked:

1. Get ALSA Update Script from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810
2. Unpack and Launch it:
2.1 Input command
"sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -d"
in Terminal and press "Enter"
2.2 Input command
"sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -c"
 in Terminal and press "Enter"
2.3 Input command
"sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.22.1-2.sh -i"
in Terminal and press "Enter"
3. Restart Computer.

If after restart you still find you have no sound, simply input this command in Terminal:
"sudo alsa force-reload"

;)

Hmmm....

You also should check if you have installed this package:
linux-backports-modules-alsa-xxxxx(1)-generic-xxx(2)

,where:
xxxxx(1) is the kernel version you currently is latest installed and used;
xxx(2) is "-pae". Install "generic-pae" if your installed kernels name contains "generic-pae" or "generic", if your kernels name contains " generic";

if it does not help, please fill new bug report in launchpad and collect debugging log as described here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Aadebug

DO NOT forget to link this Question to your bug report!

Also note, that it is useful if you publish important info about OS and machine using Terminals command: "apport-collect xxxxxx"

,where:
xxxxxxx is the Bug Report number.
