I tried everything in this thread, but none of it worked on an Inspiron 1721. However, I was surprisingly able to fix my problems by removing the alsa package with:
sudo apt-get remove alsa I think the problem (in my case) may be that Dell model numbers ending in a 1 (ie, 1721, 1521, 1421, as opposed to 1720, 1520, and 1420) are ATI/AMD based systems, but the ALSA package is mistaking installing drivers for Intel based systems. After removing alsa running: lspci | grep udio Now returns: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia Also, running: asoundconf list Now returns: SB Before removing the alsa package, "asoundcond list" returned nothing. -- [gutsy] no sound on Dell Latitude D630/D830/Inspiron 1300/Precision M4300/Vostro 1500/1700/Apple Aluminium iMac/Acer TM6292 pci id 8086:284b https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131133 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
