I have the same problem as above. The problem seems to be that the sound card is not recognized anymore. There is no sound but the system bell.

I use a centrino laptop. The sound-card must be the i810 from Intel. I use Kubuntu since october 2005 and upgraded every new release. - This is the first new install I think.

I've had various other difficulties with the install-CD from Kubuntu because linux didn't start after showing grub. I could manage it without acpi (acpi=off at the bootprompt) and only with the old debian-installer. This might be a different thing, but might also be related to the problem with the sound.

I've had similar problems with the latest two Knoppix versions which seems to point at the linux-source. On the other hand I have had not problems with a now uptodate Mepis-Live-CD which builds upon Kubuntu.
