norman@norman-desktop:~$

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-audio-dev-alsa-daily-precise.list

It was:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily/ubuntu precise main
ain
b-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily/ubuntu precise main

Now changed to:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily/ubuntu precise main

Then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Looking much better. No errors in updater. Back to a simple sound problem

So re-done ..

Norman, a quick perusal .. Why is /proc/asound/ not being populated with the required directories ?
and I notice

[/quote] Is the variable "$XAUTHORITY" set and what are the access rights on ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority ?
For others: I happen to be aware of some of the background on Norman's system (ubuntuforums.org), and the present /home is a substitution with an older /home. How deeply this relates, I can not say.

no answers, just more questions... Bashing-om said that

Bashing-om
I don't know how to fund the answers to your questions above
Can you give me clear instructions to find out

The first mistake here is that you have enabled the precise-proposed repositories. Those are for testing proposes only and can create a bunch of problems. Now is not a good idea to remove these repositories, but I told you that for future use.

Have you tried to boot from an older kernel ? (previous linux versions). Select an older kernel from grub bootloader and see if sound works there. Perhaps this is a bug on new kernel and if sound work with an older kernel then stick with it.

Thanks NikTh
The first problem was in when it got stuck in grub bootloader.
I (we) have managed to repair grub but we now do not have old linux images in the grub menu
though they seem to be there as zip files in the boot directory

Yes, they are there. Also you have some kernel versions that are too old to use.. you must remove them.

Provide the output of following commands please

    sudo update-grub
    cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    stat -c "%a %n" /etc/grub.d/*
    sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sda 2>/dev/null | strings

I just uninstalled a bunch of sound applications I don't use.
Then ran Computer Janitor - reboot
... and the machine came up 'screaming' ... no volume control . so I unplugged microphone.

I can now play music and streaming audio ... the volume control on the apps functions OK.

It is not running Pulse audio.

Have you tried to boot from an older kernel ? If this is a kernel's dysfunction then we struggle here for nothing.

Also you can try to test the latest mainline kernel and see if sound works there.
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.6-saucy/

I cannot see anything weird at this last alsa-info you posted.
