No Sound on Ubuntu 9.04

Race577 · 11-26-2009, 10:00 AM

Just set up dual boot (Windows XP & Ubuntu 9.04)

Hulu would not play in Ubuntu so I followed the instructions I saw here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774592

Quote:

Run System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager.
Then search "swfdec", select "libswfdec-0.6-90" and "swfdec-mozilla" and remove them.
Start up Firefox with a flash website and the flash plugin installation should pop up again.

Everything seemed to work great until the next time I logged in. Now I have no sound.

Terminal shows:

Code:

$ aplay -l 

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** 

00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 7309 
	Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 
	Memory at dfb78000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] 
	Capabilities: <access denied> 
	Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel 
	Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

I get the default sounds at LOGIN. But no sound anywhere after that.

No sound when I test System/Preferences/Sound

Sound Preferences show Device: Capture: HDA NVidia - ALC888 Analog (PulseAudio Mixer)

Sound works fine on WindowsXP boot.

What can I do?

Dunno but maybe both Windows and Linux are trying to control the sound.

check permissions i get that a lot (= or if you have the same hardware cause i have that driver. i have 6 ports and you kinda gotta guess what ones the sound. all 6 are the same volor tell me about it.

I'm not sure exactly how to set it up. My chipset is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=03...24498bcd522689

The way to fix it seems to be over my head.

This could be one of two problems one being that no your xp os cannot control your sound when you are using a a seperate os on the hardrive one thing that i will suggest is download sound driver and motherboard driver and run them through linux this worked for me a while back.

I think I have tried this in Terminal, but I seem to be doing something wrong.
