did you try modprobing the correct snd-aoa modules? (i.e sudo modprobe snd-aoa) I have not had much success on one iBook, but the other works just fine once I modprobed snd-aoa snd-aoa-fabric-layout snd-aoa-i2sbus snd-aoa-codec-tas snd-aoa-soundbus (not 100% sure off memory if this is the correct module name) if modprobing them works, then you can change the /etc/modules and remove the blacklist.local.conf from /etc/modprobe.d NOTE: this is from memory, but I sent out an e-mail to this list explaining it in detail a few weeks back, when I got 14.04 G4 to have working sound. I have not figured out how to get my G3 to have working sound (yet). snd-powermac shouldn't be used for the iBook... snd-aoa should. If you have more questions about it ask, and I'll try to explain it as best as I can. Also you most likely need the snd-aoa-codec-tas (rather than onyx or toonie) if you have an iBook (which if I remember you do). Since you have the older kernel you can always fall back to it if you cannot get sound working correctly. But, I do not think they have fixed the issue yet, as it is an issue with the installer and hw-detect which 'detects' what kernel modules you need. The iBook (and some powerbooks at least) are detected incorrectly and so there is no sound. -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
