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.
