Daniel, Please mark this one resolved.
It turns,and this is embarrassing,that I simply had not disabled the AC 97 on board sound. When I disabled that,that sound worked fine. Thank you. --- On Fri, 1/8/10, Daniel T Chen <seven.st...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Daniel T Chen <seven.st...@gmail.com> Subject: [Bug 337816] Re: nvidia/soundblaster confusion To: ebrid...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 6:21 PM Is the actual bug that you don't have audible sound?

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, I'm a complete novice at this,so if I'm wasting your time,please forgive me. I download the Wubi two days ago into my Windows XP,up to date. (Yes,I did download all the updates right after I installed.) When I hit the hardware button on the upper right of the screen,it asked me if I wanted to update a proprietary driver. The recommended one was for a three digit number starting with seven. I did so. When I tried to play a compact disk,I could hear the disk spinning,but there was no sound. In the process of stumbling around in the dark,I got to someplace that told me Unbuntu had recognized by Ninvidia video(on board 6100) as my sound card. I opened the speaker icon on the top right,linked through,and tried to use the auto detect; it just kept running without doing anything. I opened the menu and my sound card,a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 24,was listed about ten times,then one I was not familiar with five or six times,and then my card listed again half a dozen times. I tried detected that. No sound. Creative's web site was silent about Linux drivers. About ten minutes later,while browsing using Firefox,the screen went black,with a central screen telling me the video was too much,and asked me to reboot to get the default,which I did. At that point,the video worked. But the audio still did not. ((I uninstalled the Wubi,but kept the unzipped file on my XP desktop.)) --------- Thank you To unsubscribe from this bug, go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/337816/+subscribe -- nvidia/soundblaster confusion https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
