    Sound Problem

    Hi, I'm pretty new to Kubuntu, just switched about 3 weeks ago. The problem I am having is that everytime I reboot my computer, sound won't work. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Try to follow ALL the suggestions in this HowTo. At the very least, you'll a lot of useful things about debugging hardware, and you stand a very good chance of getting your sound back.

      My brother fixed it for me once, it was just that everything auto-updated except my kernel headers or something.

      My output of trying to restart alsa is this

      tree@sour:~$ /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
      Shutting down sound driver: !!!alsactl not found!!! ERROR: Removing 'snd_opl3_lib': Operation not permitted
      ERROR: Module snd_timer is in use by snd_opl3_lib
      ERROR: Module snd_hwdep is in use by snd_opl3_lib
      ERROR: Removing 'snd_mpu401_uart': Operation not permitted

      done
      ALSA driver is already running.

      And if I try running kmix i get this

      tree@sour:~$ kmix
      X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
      Major opcode: 145
      Minor opcode: 3

        The kmix errors have nothing to do with your present problem. You will see those every time you try to start a GUI program, like kmix, from the command line. To find out how to get rid of them, search the forum for the "wacom". Start kmix from the multimedia section of the K menu.

        Try switching temporarily to a different sound driver in the "System Settings" > "Sound & Multimedia" > Hardware Tab > "select audio device" dropdown box.

            They're called audio. Look for the word audio in the group column when you have konqueror in "detailed list view" or to find them all in swell foop, start a konsole and rune the command
            Code:
            ls-l /dev | grep audio
            That's ell-es dash ell "pipe" grep audio.

            There's also a whole directory called /dev/snd/.
