Sound not working with Ubuntu 7.04

[Ianman]

With previous versions of Ubuntu I never had problems with sound at all. Since I installed (fresh installation) Feisty Fawn I have no sound at all. The hardware seems to be detected and yet I do not hear anything. I have a Soundblaster audigy sound card. My motherboard also has a builtin soundcard which is disabled in the BIOS.

I am pretty much a Linux n00b so if there is any other information I need to add, please let me know (and let me know how :-) )

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information.

Please include the information requested from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems as separate attachments.

I found the solution to my problem! When I opened the Alsa Mixer I noticed on the "switches" tab an option: Audigy Analo/Digital Output jack. In my case it was enabled. As soon as I unchecked this option the sound started working!

In any case I have attached the requested TXT files (before I changed this option). I have simply numbered the txt files corresponding with the 7 points shown here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems.

I hope this information helps. Thanks for taking the time in any case! Much appreciated.

Regards,
Ian

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix for this particular version of the kernel. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
However, the issue that you reported is one that should be possible to test with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ .
If you do decide to test with the development release of Ubuntu please comment on this bug report and include at least the minimal information requested at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
