2006-03-13 16:42:47 Fabián Rodríguez description Using Dapper Flight 5, fresh install. Machine is a PIII Compaq SFF with integrated ESS Audiodriver ES1869F. Audio was working fine in Breezy, automatically detected+installed. When installing DF5 (not dist-upgraded, fresh installed), audio is not longer configured and sound mixer applet shows a red X. This seems to be the same bug described in Bug #27384. I am filing this under udev as per Seveas advice in #ubuntu+1 After following instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems I was able to manually load the driver doing: sudo mod-probe snd-es18xx irq=5 port=0x220 Sound then works normally (video, CD, applications, etc.). I also got an indication from the taskbar that a new audio peripheral was installed and it opened a dialog to select the default sound system - can't remember exactly the contents but the ESS was the only choice. I believe ES18xx based sound cards/integrated systems are pretty common and this should be easier to configure, even if it has to be done manually. I am not sure the how-to I followed is something I would suggest anyone to follow, although it is simple. Using Dapper Flight 5, fresh install.
