LinuxQuestions.org - No sound on kubuntu

Hello there people, how's it going?

I am recently trying to fix a problem with kubuntu. Bottom line is i don't get no sound out of my laptop. Here are some things i've read to get sound fixed on ubuntu installation, but so far, none have worked.

First thing i read was to blacklist the modem as follows in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:

Code:

#get rid of snd-atiixp-modem

blacklist snd-atiixp-modem

Then, i killed ESD with killall esd, but no processes where running with esd.

The lsof /dev/dsp and lsof /dev/snd/* gave no output, so that's fine.

I then tweaked /etc/esound/esd.conf as the manual suggested.

Code:

[esd]

auto_spawn=1

spawn_options=-terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -d default

spawn_wait_ms=100

# default options are used in spawned and non-spawned mode

default_options=

I still get no sound. So, after performing all these steps, i believe my problem is that there is no sound card detected. The manual suggests that when posting for help on the forums, i should include the output of the command 'lsmod | grep snd':

Code:

snd_atiixp            19852  0

snd_ac97_codec        96672  1 snd_atiixp

snd_ac97_bus            2432  1 snd_ac97_codec

snd_pcm_oss            46080  0

snd_mixer_oss          18560  1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm                80520  3 snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss

snd_timer              23172  1 snd_pcm

snd                    55428  6 snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore              9952  1 snd

snd_page_alloc        10504  2 snd_atiixp,snd_pcm

It may seem like a lot to read but i've been trying a lot of things i found when researching to fix this, so bare with me please.

Thanks in advance for the help.
