Re: Please help me with audio problem.

Welcome.
That pdf doesn't give much info on the audio for that laptop huh?

in a terminal, do a sudo lshw and copy what it says about your audio and post it back here.
(you might have to install lshw first from Adept)

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

KDE 3.5 in Kmenu >System >Adept pacakge manager. do a search for lshw. check it then click full upgrade, then apply changes. (if I remember right)
After that is installed open Konsole and type sudo lshw, enter password (cursor will not move), then hit enter. It will give you all of your hardware info. Copy and paste the section for your audio device here in the forum.

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

ok, a quick search on the ALSA sight yielded this..
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/ind...odule-intel8x0

also, a couple quick questions... which version of Kubuntu are you running?
After you installed did you run the updates? Sometimes doing this will solve some smaller issues.
in Adept, fetch updates and do a full upgrade to install all upgraded packages.
If that does not help with the audio, try the link I gave to the Alsa site.

I'm running 8.04

In adept it won't allow me highlight/click full upgrade, but i did update right after install so that might be the issue. I'm gonna give the Alsa site a try, it's confusing, but that's not gonna stop me from trying...

**CVPunk** · Oct 01, 2008, 01:36 PM

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

With the version of Adept you are using you have to click on Fetch Updates first, then if there are any updates or upgrades you will be able to click on the full upgrade.
You can also run updates and upgrades from the command line, which some people actually prefer.
In Konsole type sudo apt-get update, enter password. Then do sudo apt-get upgrade.

from what I can tell, there have been bug reports on the audio device you have.
But the Alsa site should help. Everything appears to be done from the command line in Konsole.
Good luck, and if you have anymore issues just post back here.

Sorry its taken soo long to respond, i had to go to class. I ran the command and it seems my PC was already up to date. I started to try and use the Asla guide but it seems the commands don't work and i don't know exactly which ones i should be suing. I'll keep trying though...

Edit: I keep getting an "access denied" error when i try to create a new directory (either manually or via command) in usr/src folder.

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

are you running 64 or 32 bit Kubuntu?

32bit

Also, i figured out i needed to type sudo before everything in order to use admin privileges, but even doing this i can only make the alsa dir. Allt he steps after that don't work. Is there a way someone can just make the folder and i can just paste it in my /usr/src/ dir?

**CVPunk** · Oct 01, 2008, 08:54 PM

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

in Adept, do a search for Alsa and check that you have the lib32asound2 (for 32bit) installed.
you can look through all of the Alsa programs, make sure you have the alsa-base and linux-sound-base

if none of this helps and that link I provided does not help, it might be better to switch from Alsa to Pulseaudio-esound

Thanks, i'll try these solutions. On another note is there any other destro that is proven to be working with my specs? I'd be more then willing to install a different one if that's the case.

**CVPunk** · Oct 01, 2008, 09:22 PM

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

not sure about another distro. There are so many of them. If you want to check out some others you can go to www.distrowatch.com and check out the different distro's in there.

just to be sure though, check out this link and see if there is anything in there that helps.
http://www.alsa-project.org/~valenty...i-HOWTO-7.html
it might be something simple like just installing the alsa oss package for backward comptability.
I will keep searching to see if I can find anything else.

[edit] SEE POST BELOW

**CVPunk** · Oct 01, 2008, 09:36 PM

Re: Please help me with audio problem.

just to be more thorough, what is the output if you enter in Konsole sudo lspci?

[edit] I ended up finding some people who have solved the problem you are having here.
