Hello all, I would like to thank you in advance for your help and cooperation. I have owned this Acer Ferrari 1000 notebook for quite some time and have had linux on there again for quite some time. Every recent distro I have tried the audio does not work. The latest version of Ubuntu 8.04 I installed I had high hopes for but the same result happened. It worked on Ubuntu 6.06LTS. It doesn't work with Fedora, but does work with SUSE. I try to stay with Ubuntu due to their philosophy and the fact that Mark Shuttleworth is the greatest man alive. Anyway, My issue is as follows... I have no audio, none at all. I have attempted to recompile the kernel with the drivers that I thought would work and that was just wasted time. I have searched the forums and help questions like this and have found nothing helps. The audio controls work and it acts like it recognizes the audio card, but no sound comes out of the speakers. I would like to get this working as a portable DAW so I would appriciate your help on this. lspci -v: 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 Host Bridge (rev 10) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated
