no luck having sound with the latest liveCD so i'm wondering if this really isn't a more low-level problem.
i tried grepping dmesg and no luck. i do get something out of syslog: $ cat /var/log/syslog |grep -ie audio -ie sound Oct 4 14:31:57 amorphous pbbuttonsd: INFO: Soundsystem requested: ALSA and at least activated: none. Oct 4 14:33:25 amorphous pbbuttonsd: INFO: Soundsystem requested: ALSA and at least activated: none. Oct 4 14:36:08 amorphous pbbuttonsd: INFO: Soundsystem requested: ALSA and at least activated: none. Oct 4 16:35:20 amorphous pbbuttonsd: INFO: Soundsystem requested: ALSA and at least activated: none. but i don't think that's particularly helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060452 Title: alsamixer fails to load on quantal ppc Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System G4 iBook 1.42GHz CPU, 1.5GHz RAM. Lubuntu Quantal daily build October 1. Fresh install When initially lauched alsamixer in terminal it showed as "file or directory does not exist". I reinstalled asla-utils package and ran "rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local.conf", which fixed the problem in 12.04. This time it did not; alsamixer shows in terminal, but with the message "this sound device does not have any controls", no sound in system, or loudspeaker icon in taskbar. Is this a bug or faulty config?
