Ken, you must disable AC97 audio on motherboard bios.
It will works fine SB Live! PCI soundcard.

I have the same problem with a VIA Technologies AC.97 Sound Chip. I disabled that from my BIOS , but when I came back to Ubuntu I still could not get any sound or opening sounds-nothing ! - and I got a message saying that the sound was disabled. I Tried Sound Juicer Cd Player - I got only CLICKS and the very oaccasional few seconds of music. I sent a "Sound Recorder" attachment to myself and I could play it on "Windows XP", but on Ubuntu I could only SEE the waves of sound on the "Audacity" playback of the attachment. I could not hear anything on "RealPlayer" either. I do hope you can help. pleasegentlemen , but bear in mind that I am a very new Ubuntu operator and technicalities (Terminal ?? what is that @) are beyond me at present. Thank you. Douglas Nixon, UK.

i had to uninstall ubuntu as the operating instructions were too vague to
follow TH

Thank you Terence (Hotston) for your reply.. I will probably have to reinstal Ubuntu in the end. Thanks for your time.

whenever I play an audio file on any of the available audio applications, there is a dialogue box that says "Gsmedia stream is not installed" and i had to go online to have it activated. Is there a way that I can have it offline?

Thanks for your time. More power to Linux-Ubuntu.
