my driver doesn't exist for linux
I just installed ubuntu but their is one major problem.
the card I have in my pc is Hercules Muse Lt, but it only has drivers for windows. because of that I cannot play anny music or video's with my ubuntu. Does anybody know how that can be helped? |
What sort of device is this card (sound? video? ethernet?)? What does lspci say about the chipset on the card?
|
it is a soundcard and this is what my lspci says:

That's the line that describes the soundcard. It's a very common soundcard. The module that you need is called snd-intel8x0 sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 Then run alsamixer to set the levels (type m to unmute the channels). Then save the levels with alsactl store sudo alsactl store Andy |
@Andrew, you are running in a dream life with LFS, Ubuntu doesn't come with alsamixer(I dont think).
Yeah, you shouldn't have any problem with that sound card. |
