Today I noticed a short post: http://www.chinwong.com/index.php?/site/comments/sound_fix_for_heron/ --- Sound fix for Heron After checking out several possible solutions to my sound problems in Hardy Heron, I finally found one that worked for me. Fortunately, it was pretty easy to carry out, too. Just went to Synaptic and installed Linux-386 and rebooted. I hope this helps somebody out there and saves them hours of looking through the forums. Not really sure why the Linux-386 kernel was missing, but why look a gift horse in the mouth? --- Care to try installing the linux-386 package and booting into it from the GRUB menu to see what happens? :) CK -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
