Sound does not work oh Hardy - Solved

[magic-chef]

I uppgraded to hardy and now my sound does not work. I have a C-Media PCI card.

It worked with gutsy.

Where do I start?

Boot into your -14 kernel.

The new -16 kernel has a problem with sound and network on some machines (Like mine )

I booted into the -14 kernel. Still no sound.

Hey dible

Any links for troubleshooting network cards on -16??

Re: Sound does not work oh Hardy - Solved

I'm surprised to hear about the -16 sound problems. I usually get bit by all sound issues, on at least one of my boxes, but -16 has still been working for me fine.

I *do* recall that I had to go back into Amarok and undo some OSS hack... to go back to Alsa to make that one program work. Some problem with one of the earlier kernels made me temporarily go OSS with it. It's a longshot, but f you had the same issue, maybe you need to do the same.

Re: Sound does not work oh Hardy - Solved

I just updated to Hardy and lost sound as well. Nvidia sound card. Everything looked set up correctly but I was getting no output. Following the sound troubleshooting guide uninstalling and reinstalling the ALSA packages seems to have resolved the issue. (I did have to reinstall kubuntu-desktop as well - weird bug but at least they warned me)
