Comment 6 for bug 376167

I just performed the above requested command, but it looks like apport crashed before it finished (see terminal output below). I also have an HP dv7 notebook. Ubuntu 9.04 has been installed via Wubi and I have no audio as described in Stem's original report.

Here is my terminal output:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

user@ubuntu:~$ apport-collect -p alsa-base 376167
