Installed 8.04 and everything was working except the sound. Followed Ubuntu sound guide and to start it showed my sound card which is an on board ALC883 on ASUS M2N-VM HDMI board. After messing around with the guide on Ubuntu forum and for some daft reason later trying to dump ALSA for OSS I am now worse off than I was before. Amarok throws the xIne cannot initialise drivers message up. Alsamixer wont run..and now aplay -l is saying no soundcard found. I am at my wits end and need help..and please do not suggest the Ubuntu guide....... I am I must add very impressed with LInux except for the current woes.

Re: Help
Ooops, sorry it is a file, not a folder. It shows kernel modules that were not automatically installed.
Three or four posts down this thread appears to be some possible help for you:

Re: Help
Still in turmoil here I am afraid. Major problem being I am not picking up the soundcard.
result of aplay - l = aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...
If I boot from Live CD it gets picked up so it is there. Need somebody who is clued up at the very base level here.

Re: Help
It's not obvious what the problem is there. The sound chip is listed on the PCI bus, so we know the Linux OS sees it:
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 8230

I would search Ubuntu forum with "mcp67 hda" - that should bring up many instances, assuming that other folks are using the same motherboard.

Re: Help
I came to the conclusion that the onboard sound wasnt going to work because there was no driver for a 64bit installation. So off to the puter shoppe I go and get a soundcard which depicts on lspci -v as CMI8738....
THATS GREAT......only I am still stuck with the "no soundcard found" when I type aplay -l...................
I have followed the guide on ubuntu forum and still I have the same problem, Now being a beginner I dont know much of how this beast works but I am thinking something somewhere in the startup..a config file or something isnt there or if it is its screwed up. What do you think o wise ones ?
And yes I have disabled my onboard sound before some wiseguy asks
thanks

Re: Help
It is possible that there's no 64-bit driver for that chipset. Did you review everything about it on the ALSA project page?
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
If you're going to buy a sound card, make sure you've checked it on the ALSA site -- then you should be good to go.
