help with sound

[octopusman]

I'm trying to get the sound to work in kubuntu feisty fawn, I'm trying to use the OSS driver, but it won't detect the speakers. I'm really new to this (i came from windows) and I'm getting kinda ticked off. i hope i can get used to it. I´m not used to using the terminal in windows.

Does your sound card show up? If so check the settings. Make sure there on and the levels up.

Try typing lspci into konsole. Your onboard sound card should show up if it is detected. If not I would check your specs to see what the chipset is and do a search for the correct drivers or post the type for some help.

Re: help with sound

I am having the same problem with my new laptop. The sound card looks like it is recognized, but there is no sound at all. If I put in a CD, the eq bounces up and down while it plays, but there is absolutely no sound. It as if there is some mute switch hidden somewhere that I can't find. Everything is turned all the way up on KMix, and Fn-PgUp shows the volume all the way up on my screen. Fn-End (my hotkey for mute) will display Mute On and Mute Off appropriately on the screen (built into the computer - this is not Kubuntu) but it makes no difference.

lspci -v gives this:
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
Subsystem: Gateway 2000 Unknown device 0318
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 17
Memory at d0500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

lsmod shows that the driver is snd-hda-intel

Any help would be appreciated. Sound and wireless are the last 2 things keeping Windows on my computer!

Re: help with sound

Hi, guys. Same problem with my Acer Aspire 5043. NO SOUND AT ALL.
I have Kubuntu FF 64 bits installed, and I have tested the Ubuntu (7.0.4) 32 bits live-CD and it also doesn't work.
Volume control is working (kmix) and some other things seem to be the way it should (controls not "grey", seeming functional!?). However no sound comes out at all (music, videos, system "dings"... none).
Any clues about how can I fix this?

Thanks!

Maybe this card is not a good friend of (K)Ubuntu (WHY NOT?) :
