New installation of Ubuntu 10.04 beside Windows on a laptop with SoundMAX integrated digital audio and can get no sound. Everything else so far works .

Asked by Chris Aguilar

Finally decided to take the plunge, and installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Laptop from CD.
Thankfully Windows still works, and Ubuntu seems to be working well, except for sound. I can get no sound. My Windows Belarc system printout indicates that I have SoundMAX integrated digital audio.
I don't think my Logitech webcam is working either. but I have not checked this out yet.

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C sound

Thanks

If you install cheese, you can test your cam. Logitech support in Linux is non-existent but there are projects to make drivers. Depends on the model and the output of:

lsusb

One line will identify the device, you can websearch for the 8 character hex id to find guides.

Please execute step 1 and step 2, then reboot and send us the full terminal output from step 3 and step 4 from this procedure:

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

Please also specify the exact model and make of your laptop (if known).

Mark,
Have had a quick look at procedures to be followed. Looks a bit like learning Greek to me, but i will endeavour to follow the procedures through carefully. Maybe a day or two before I get it done. Will let you know.
Thanks.
