Are you trying to get sound over HDMI?

Please use alsamixer to unmute and increase volume to 100% on the following mixer channels:

Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Simple mixer control 'Surround',0
Simple mixer control 'Center',0
Simple mixer control 'LFE',0
Simple mixer control 'Side',0
Simple mixer control 'Line',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0 -> set to DISABLED

Then retest sound output using headphones and speakers.

No, I am using the simple set up with stero speakers and a woofer. The
sound system works well with my XP computer.

Thank you for your help.

Mark,

I did as you suggested. Still no sound. I am not that good with the
terminal, but I can follow directions, and did as you said.

The one peculiar thing I have noticed is that when I click on the little
loudspeaker in the upper right corner of the screen it comes up with the
word mute, but the volume control is well over 50%. When I click to
have it say unmute the volume goes down to zero. If I increase the
volume with the mouse it automatically goes to mute. I also went to the
sound settings and made sure that the mute was not checked.

Is there anything I have done wrong, or is there another problem? If
this were MS I would look for an IRQ conflict or I would reinstall the
driver.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Mark,

I am at a stand still. I have the disk witht he drivers for the sound
card on it. However, I don't know if the problem is the driver, or some
other conflict. You have the report on my system. How do I find out if
there is an IRQ conflict, or how can I reinstall the sound drivers in
ubuntu? The driver disk which came with the mother board only specifies
MS windows installations.

Thank you for your help.

Mark,

I have tested several options and as of now no good results. Here is
the message I get in the terminal each time.

I used the auto option and it works.

Thank you for all your help and the good lessons.

You're welcome.
