Ubuntu 8.10 sound problem

Asked by Kolby33574

I have Ubuntu 8.10 on my Dell Mini 9. Previously when I had Windows XP, the sound worked great, but on Ubuntu, it doesn't work at all. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Please try this procedure:

Open a Terminal and enter the following command:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Add the following line at the end of the alsa-base file:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=dell

Save the file.

Reboot.

Then run the following command in a Terminal and make sure that the volume is set to a high level on all audio channels:

alsamixer

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

After rebooting your pc, did you double click on the sound icon in the system tray and increase the volume there?

Regards,

Mark
