Speakers do not work.

could you display the results from lspci | grep audio

I forgot the terminal command because I just copied and pasted the code from some page of the ubuntu forums. If you could post it then I can display the results. Thank you very much for your response.

lspci | grep audio

I will be able to reply at 6:00 - 6:30 central time. Again, thank you very much for your response.

The follwing is what I get when I enter the command in the Ubuntu terminal.

"0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Rockwell International: Unknown device 4310"

I am sorry I said that I would reply from 6:00-6:30 central time. I meant to say 4:00-4:30 central time. Thank you very much for your help.

is this sound card apart of a modem combo(older HP PC or Compaq PC)
type 'cat /proc/asound/cards' and post back results.

**I believe that this Rockwell chip is on a modem/sound card combo and there is not any drivers that I am aware of.

Yes, the computer that I installed Ubuntu on was a windows 98 computer about 7 years ago. The speakers,and monitor came with it in a bundle.

Sorry, was """purchased""" 7 years ago.

I had a old compaq that had this rockwell modem/sound combo. Spent hours upon hours trying to get it to work, finally slapped a old Sound Blaster in there and problem was solved. I looked for drivers for this card and no luck. Windows even had aproblem with this chipset.It would seem(i cringe to tell you this)it would probably be easier to add a soundcard. If you do not have any laying around, you could purchase one from new egg or EBay.
Sorry I do not have a fix or your soundcard.

The following is what is shown when I type 'cat /proc/asound/cards'.

                   cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory

Thanks for the immediate response.

Do you now of any good, but inexpensive soundcard that I can buy from new egg or ebay?

And also one that will work with ubuntu without any hassle.

look at this link

this has a descent list. Any old SB16 should work fine, or SB live(should be cheap on ebay)as for new egg go to sound cards look at the descriptions of the ones in your price range and see if they support Linux.

I found this really good USB Interface Digital Sound System and at a really cheap price. Can you tell me if this is any good?

I would try to stay away from usb sound cards, can be tricky to setup. Dont give up, keep looking.

How About from Here?

try this

this uses the CMI8738 chipset which alsa supports. Make sure you are using dapper. If you did buy this one, goto alsa site and follow instructions.

This might look like a dumb question, but this particular card will fit in the same slot as the previous one. Right?

Anyway, thank you very much for your help and I'll post a message on the forum if I get any more problems with ubuntu. Thanks again.

it is a pci card it will fit into the white slots in your pc
