Thank you Rusty, and all others on Ubuntu forums your suggestion helped me get sound working on my Ubuntu @Lenovo 3000 N200, after almost 6 months of ordeal. HOWEVER, there is one thing I would like to suggest in addition -from my stupid experience- to help many others,
To sum up again, do as suggested by others.. >sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add to the end of this file options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo enable=1 index=0 and then >sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-tools restart Try playing any sound/music file. Things should work. If not, may be my experience could be of help to you: I have had followed aforesaid steps on the very first day I installed Ubuntu Hardy on my laptop. Unfortunately, after these editions, during reboot my machine made a very very shrill beep ( i guess it were the Front Mic , just below the touch pad). That almost got my keypad heated up, and I was afraid something might go wrong. Yet, I took a chance and somehow bore that shrill noise to the annoyance of my flatmate, and on successful login put my sound to mute. Someday later, before trying anything fancy from these forums, to avoid that shrill noise, I set all the volume levels to very minimum using ALSA 'alsamixer'. As a ill consequence, I never could hear anything even though the changes were made rightly. By doing sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-tools restart, i need not reboot my machine, and therefore I could manage to raise the volume levels using 'alsamixer'. Execute on prompt >alsamixer You will see a graphical interface to set volume levels. I set all of them to red levels, except for Front Mic, because setting one of them to 100 % makes my Laptop make that shrill beep again even now, so kept it to 33%. Strange and funny! But I hope it could be of help to others. thanks! -- No audio per Notebook lenovo 3000 n200 ubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241072 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
