No sound using Ubuntu operating system, but normal sound with Windows

Are you using Hardy?
If yes, at a terminal:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy

If no:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules

These backport packages have some sound drivers. After installing, reboot and check.

I installed many drivers as well as codecs for Audacious, which is the music player. My sound driver is older, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy. I tried to find a compatible driver but had no results. Still no sound using Audacious.

Do you have no sound in general or is this just an issue with Audacious?

If it's a general issue, try the following (common problem):

1. open a terminal
2. type "alsamixer"
3. in the graphical interface, unmute every column except "External" by pressing the key "m"

Hope this helps...

I have no sound on Ubuntu at all.

I opened alsamixer and could not change any of the settings. There are no sounds on Ubuntu. I performed the hardware test on Ubuntu, and it does list a graphics card, but nothing else, if that helps.

How many audio cards do you have...?

Please open a terminal from Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

lspci

copy and paste the result here.

Thank you
