No Sound

Asked by Bill Baldwin

I don't have any sound since upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04--no system sounds, can't play video files, etc. Everything worked fine in 9.04, and the sound still works in Vista, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. My motherboard has onboard sound, but it's disabled--have a Soundblaster Audigy card.

Not really a model of computer--I robbed some parts, but I built it myself.

I recommend reading this bugreport:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/580967

Especially this part of the report is interesting:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/580967/comments/8

Try installing all the newest updates in Ubuntu 10.04 using these commands:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

If installing the newest 10.04 updates does not help, then I have no further suggestions.

Well, one more idea... :-p

If the previous suggestion did not help, then I recommend upgrading ALSA to version 1.0.23 by executing step 1 in the following procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

After upgrading to ALSA version 1.0.23, reboot and retest sound.

Tried to do all the upgrades, but I couldn't get my ALSA drivers, utils, and libraries to be the same version. Couldn't get my old utils stopped--the command I used was "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop". Is that correct, or can somebody suggest another one?

Try this command instead:

sudo /sbin/alsa-utils stop

The exact location of alsa-utils has changed since Ubuntu 9.10.

If that command does not work, then just skip it.

It is not that important....

Can you help with this problem?
