Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers.
You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage .

I have classified this bug as a bug in "alsa-lib".

[laurenallott (lauren)]

thanks. i just reported this straight from the panel "Report a Problem" and wasn't too sure what else needed to be added. Anyhow.. learning as we go along :D

i've read through the page u sent.. as well as followed the link to debuggingSoundProblems, so i'm attaching the output as outlined in the guide....

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Please mute 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense'.

[laurenallott (lauren)]

right, that fixed it. :)
superb... thanks, now i have sound!

[laurenallott (lauren)]

erm... :) but now i can't mute my sound let alone change the volume.
basically, i have one fixed volume. master doesn't make a difference.
function keys don't impact on sound either.. :S ??

I'm running Kubuntu FF 7.04, 64 bits, in an Acer Aspire 5043 WLMi laptop (and I have tried also Ubuntu 7.04 32 bits version) and there is no sound (not from audio CDs, movies, mp3 or even system "dings").

Running lspci -v in the terminal, I get:

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 0080
        Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
        Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

In the graphic "Hal Device Manager" for KDE (I've installed, also), it says almost the same and that the path is /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.2

And I've tried to change some things at the audio codification (under system information utility in the K-menu), that it was set to auto-detect devices, but I got no sound and sometimes it restarted the applying changes's percentage 5 or 6 times and I aborted it. I1ve tryed the 5 or 6 options there. No sound.

It's a pity, since Ubuntu is great!

[Patrick (hanckmann-gmail)]

This problem arose here as well. I installed 8.04 beta and I have no sound anymore. &.10 and earlier version there was no problem.
My system:
- IBM T42 laptop
 -- Intel Pentium M 1.7 735 CPU (Dothan), 2MB L2
 -- 768MB PC2700 DDR
 -- 60GB 5600RPM
 -- Combo DVD CDRW station
 -- 15" TFT, SXGA (1400x1050)
 -- Ati Mobility Radeon 9600 64MB DDR
 -- 802.11G WLAN
 -- Gigabit ethernet adapter
 -- 56k6 modem
 -- 2x PCMCIA Type II
 -- 2x USB2.0
 -- S-Video

Ubuntu does recognise/detect my hardware properly and the alsamixer works. I have no clue what happened. If you need more info then I am very eaer to help out!

[Gonzalo_VC (gonzalo-vc)]

Now with 8.04 (and I am running a derived distro with scientific packages, called Poseidon) sound is fine in my Acer laptop. Just the wireless card is not working... One more step to happiness ;-)
