Looks like the card is recognized but not used. I would say this is a problem in userspace, perhaps in PulseAudio's volume control. Maybe you could try reinstalling Pulse and seeing if that makes a difference:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

Actually I solved it, but thanks for your reply! For those who care this is what I did:
I added:
options snd-hda-intel model=ref

To:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

LazerPhreak,

Many thanks for this solution. Although I don't have an HP (I have a Dell Dimension 5100) the add "options snd-hda-intel model=ref" (without the inverted commas) to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf worked a treat.

This is the simplest solution I have found, having struggled through the sound problem EVERY time I install a new Ubuntu distro or do an upgrade. (One has to wonder why this is the case.)

So great answer, a millions thanks ............

I faced this problem when i changed the 'Connector' option in the 'Output' tab in sound preferences to 'Analog Headphones'. After i changed the 'Connector' option back to 'Analog Output' everything seems fine. Try it.

This site is great! I mean it is really terrific. I had 2 major
problems after installing Ubuntu 10.04 lts. Display resolution and no sound.

After reviewing the posts here...Well, lets just say I could not
have done the work fixing my installation without everyone here.

Thank you.

Now I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu on the same HD...Can dual boot...Life is good...and when I finally run out of money I'll still have an OS.

Thank you for such a great site.

Pleased LQ has helped you solve your problems. That is what it is for.

Oh BTW I ended up changing the driver from "NIVIDA" to "VESA" and then I changed the HorizSync to something more like my monitor can display like... 35.0 - 100.0..It worked great.

I hope this helps someone else...

My system specs are:

Intel Dual core 2.66ghz
500 Gb HD
Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04lts
An Element HDTV with PC input and 2 HDMI ports
Saitek illuminated keyboard
4 gigs of Kingston Ram with room for 4 more
an 9500GT GeForce PCIe display card
LG DVD Dual Layer Writer
a USB DVD Dual layer Writer
and a cheap Audigy soundblaste card with 2 speakers and a subwoofer

and man..I am liking this Ubuntu 10.04lts

Regards

ahalin · 08-16-2010, 07:19 AM

There are other fixes out there, but this was the easiest one that worked.

martin71canada · 10-01-2010, 11:38 AM

No disrespect to anyone but I simply don't have a clue when you say you quite simply changed some of the values or whatever? where did you do this? I am new to Linux and don't understand what you did to fix the sound problem,

thanks , Martin

tbahm · 10-19-2010, 05:38 AM

I just created an account just to say thanks. I got my sound working in Lucid Lynx (10.04) with the simple addition to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

martin71canada,

1. Edit the file called "alsa-base.conf" in the "/etc/modprobe.d" directory. Note: You need to be root to modify this file. (see below)

2. Add the following line to the bottom of the file:
options snd-hda-intel model=ref

3. Reboot your computer, then sound should work.

To be root, you should be able to "sudo" an editor from a terminal window.
a. open Terminal window (under Applications -> Accessories menu)
b. open editor on the file by typing "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf"
c. scroll to the bottom of the file and add a line for "options snd-hda-intel model=ref"
d. save file

Amazing that the simplist answer may be the first place to look. I won't say how long I looked other places. How did it get muted???? Thanks!
