susan: what fixed my Dell Vostro 1700 Hardy 8.04 (upgrade from Gutsy) faint sound problem after trying every new kernel -rt, modifying config files, etc., was installing the simple gnome-alsamixer package
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsa-mixer I think the faint sound is the xx decibel reduction because our system was actually muted. Tim Gardner wrote on 2007-10-01: (permalink) If you want a temporary workaround, then run this command: sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=5stack" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Make sure your speakers and microphone are not muted. I think the best mixer for that is gnome-alsamixer. I didn't do any of the modprobe stuff; only installed the gnome- alsamixer package.
