2007-06-21 17:14:41 kiwman description Hello everyone :-) If anyone can provide some piece of advice on this, I'd be more than grateful: I have a Toshiba Satellite P100-347 with as a Graphic Card an Nvidia GeForce 7900. I installed Feisty Fawn (Kubuntu) on dual boot as I am a newB, and was very happy with the internet connection but not as much with the sound: I just can't hear anything. Using different Plugins and packages to allow MP3 being readen by Amarok, Totem, VCL... I did however not manage to get the any sound. I guess the driver of the Graphic card does not work properly. Nvidia does not provide drivers for Ubuntu on their websites, as far as I know. What I noticed using Ubuntu's resticted Driver Manager, is that the Graphic card has been found as being indeed "a GeForce 7900", but Kubuntu does not realise it is a Graphic Card: "Device" is marked as "unknown" Let me again praise the work of Ubuntu developers: For what I already have: Thanks a LOT ;-) !!! if you can get me the sound to work, I'll definitely make my way to engage in the open source community. yours Faithfully, Greg kiwmann.
