HELP me not go back to Windows!

[Guest]

I have been struggling to get sound working on my Gateway Laptop. It is model S-7200N. I am running Kubuntu 8.10.

lspci shows sound:
00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04)

asoundconf list shows:
Names of available sound cards:
ICH6

I performed asoundconf-gtk and selected ICH6 in the menu. It also showed PulseAudio. I have tried both, with no sound.

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I am at my wits end right now.

Thanks!

I may try that later today. It is frustrating. I like everything else about this though.

taking your first steps in to the pool are usually the most difficult , thats why some of us just dive in and deal w/ the shock.
i found this for your (thanks dibl)

So, check your Kmix utility and make sure the PCM channel and/or Master channel are not muted. If that's not the problem, then go back to the basic sound troubleshooting guidance here and follow the procedure:
