To install your video driver type: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-i810' in a terminal, can you verify some things for your sound, Click System --> Prefs --> Sound and select everything to autodetect and test them. If that doesnt work try selecting your C-Media adapter instead of autodetect, and test again; once this works your sound should work throughout ubuntu, if none of these options work, then we will have to go further into troubleshooting.
Thanks,
David P.

David Portwood: I wish my problem was that simple. I have a Gigabyte motherboard with a Realtek 888 sound chip-set.
In System preference sound Default Mixer Track -Device I can select Realtek ALC 888 (Oss Mixer)
and select Line in-volume-speaker-Mic (which I have in XP working) and I have selected All Beeps and
sound (enable software sound mixing (ESD)-play system sounds-etc. In Rhythmbox Music Player and
Movie player (G streamer) I have no sound. I found Realtek-Linux-audiopack-RHEL4U4-4.05f.tar.bz2 at www.Realtek.com and have ran it with the auto installer in Terminal but I am still getting no-where.
I am new to Linux but I have it dual booted with XP and Linux is the boot loader. Any help in Linux will
be appreciated. My e-mail is <email address hidden> and I hope the sound problem is just knowing
what to type and when to hit enter.
