Asked by Ashtin Lee

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop. Before I was running 10.04 but this is a fresh install, not an upgrade. I followed this procedure: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

And got this output from step 4:

Please try this procedure:

Step 1: Open a Terminal

Step 2: Run the following command (copy/paste command into the Terminal
and then hit <enter>)

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

In the gedit editor, scroll down to the last lines of the alsa-base.conf
file and ADD these 2 lines to the end of the alsa-base.conf file (with
the file open inside the gedit editor!):

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-codec-realtek index=-2

Step 3: Reboot pc and retest sound using headphones and speakers. Test
all audio jacks at the front and the back of your PC.
