Sound has been fine for several days after building this computer and installing Ubuntu 11.04. Like so many other things with Ubuntu, suddenly things change for no reason. I log onto my network automatically 1 time out of 5. The other 4 times I am continually asked for my password until out of frustration I reboot again. On one reboot I lost everything in the lower panel, rebooted and it was all back. Today I had sound. I listened to online radio stations. I played a CD. Everything was fine. Then a few hours later I was on Facebook and clicked on a video and no sound. Tried a CD, no sound. Online radio, no sound. It may be fine tomorrow after many more reboots, but I'm getting tired of it. I may go back to 10.04. I had sound in that version but it didn't like my wireless adapter.
