Bug Description
I installed the UNR 9.04 RC on an HP 1030nr netbook. The good news is nearly everything works great and I was really impressed with UNR both functionally and aesthetically. The bad news is that for the HP 1030nr netbook, the sound did not work out of the box. Basically to fix the problem I had to compile and use the latest version of ALSA.
To get the sound working, I used the information available on several bug threads for the HP netbooks.

However no individual solution worked, and after trying them all several times and I had given up. I discovered however upon the (strangely, not the first, but the second) reboot after giving up that the sound was in fact now working. So *some* combination of recompiling the latest ALSA drivers (although the utils never completely 100% successfully) and fiddling with the volume controls as discussed in those threads managed to solve the problem.
Needless to say, having sound trouble made the release feel very "1999" for linux. I'm quite experienced with computers and compiling my own software, so if I had trouble then most people would not be able to fix it.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information. Would you please add the information requested from the "Reporting Sound Bugs" section of https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingSo undProblems as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.
