Ok I suffered for along time with my laptop not being able to have sound or effects
I have intel HDA ICH7 & and sigmatel anyway i think this solution will probably help every one. cause now, guess what!!!!! I have sound & i swear its higher, better and even more clearer than xp or vista I missed up ALSA trying to update it & recompiling the new version. so I suggest that u reinstall fresh copy of gusty if u did the same things as I have done. Now to start the solving the problem: after getting a fresh copy of gusty installed *** 1- made sure you get it updated: in the "menu bar" go to "System" menu and -> "Administration" -> "Update Manager" *** 2- click on "check" & wait for it to load *** 3- now click on "install updates" & wait, it could take a long time with slow internet connection and/or busy servers. *** 4- reboot *** 5- in the "menu bar" go to "System" menu and -> "Administration" -> "Software Sources" *** 6-now select the "Updates" tab *** 7-In the "update" tab, you have to select all the first 4 options: generally u will have only the first 2 selected: ----------------> you have to select the options "Unsupported updates" => the third box ---------------> also select "Pre-released updates" => the forth box "DO NOT CLICK REVERT" *** 8-Now click on close *** 9-restart *** 10-login *** 11-connect to the internet *** 12,a- When prompted to update do it * if not prompted: *** 12,b- in the "menu bar" go to "System" menu and -> "Administration" -> "Update Manager" *** 13-in the "update manager" window click on "check" & wait for it to reload the new software updates *** 14- now click on "install updates" & wait, it could take a long time with slow internet connection and/or busy servers. ALMOST DONE bare with me *** 15-click close after getting update success *** 16-go to "System" menu and -> "Preferences" -> "Sound" *** 17- set: A-the first 3 choice boxes to "auto detect " B-the 4th to ALSA C-the last one to intel HDA *** 18-restart & voalaaaaaa it works. rock on Ubuntu I have searched all over the net 4 a way to fix it yet this is the only one that worked 4 me Let me know if it works out 4 you good luck -- No sound on HDA Intel;SigmaTel STAC9200; Gateway E100M https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156580 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
