Be sure your system is not in error and is updated...

To dress you pgp key error

Add a ppa gpg key

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv FC66403D8670A035

copy and paste into terminal and press enter...

gpg --export --armor FC66403D8670A035 | sudo apt-key add -

copy and paste into terminal and press enter...

Then type: (when the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

to update your system.

Hope this helps

I added the key using your commands, It said it was the key for "Launchpad PPA for Spring developers"

When I ran the apt-get commands I got the following:

So it appears to me that nothing was upgraded or updated. Just for grins I went ahead and rebooted, but I still did not have sound.

Thanks
Sheridan

OK , before we do anything on the system we should make some corrective updates on the system.
Log in normally to the default user (the administrator) and then go to System->Administration->Source of Software and do the next operations as shown in these 2 images (Check the options as in the images):

... click on the close button , a message is shown , click on the reload button , and do an update for your system. Restart the PC after , I'm sure that many problems are solved now.

If the problem persists post a comment.

Good Luck ;)

I'm not sure this addresses my problem. You seem to be suggesting that I change my software sources to include beta (or even alpha? It's not real clear what Pre-released Updates includes) releases. On this page

https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/add-applications/C/default-repos.html

It specifically says "Be aware that these updates may not yet be well tested; it is not recommended that you enable this source unless you are prepared to experience occasional problems. "

Could you please explain how you think these changes will fix my sound? Since an update is what broke the sound in the first place I am a little leery of getting less well tested updates.

I did go ahead and make the changes in your first picture, and I received 22 new updates. Still no sound in .13 (though as a workaround I have been selecting .11 from the boot menu where sounds still works perfectly)

Hi Dilmi,
I have the same problem as Sheridan. I followed your instructions too but still no sound. I read in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/389538/comments/5 that the snd-hda-intel module has to be recompiled. But I don't know how to do that... Do you? Thank you very much.

This seems to reference alsa-source which, according to Synaptic I don't have installed. Do I need to install this package? If so what should I do next? How can I determine what driver the sound is actually using?

One more thing, if I do a search of the file system for alsa-source I do find module-alsa-source.so in /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules

Does anyone have anything else I can try?

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Can someone please look at this?

Hi Sheridan,
don't know if this helps, but my problems were solved so far by updating the kernel to 2.6.28-14-generic. With the 2.6.28-13-kernel I could never solve the problem. I could get the sound to work with the proprietary alsa-driver-linuxant, but then, all my usb-2.0-devices wouldn't word. So I first downgraded again to 2.6.28-11 but now everything is okay again with the newest kernel.
Wish you good luck!
