Subject: [Bug 156580] {SOLVED it}Re: No sound on HD A Intel; SigmaTel
STAC9200;Gateway E100M

Ok

I suffered for along time with my laptop not being able to have sound or
effects

I have intel HDA ICH7 & and sigmatel

anyway i think this solution will probably help every one. cause now,
guess what!!!!!

I have sound & i swear its higher, better and even more clearer than xp
or vista

I missed up ALSA trying to update it & recompiling the new version.

so I suggest that u reinstall fresh copy of gusty if u did the same
things as I have done.

Now to start the solving the problem:

after getting a fresh copy of gusty installed

*** 1- made sure you get it updated: in the "menu bar" go to "System"
menu and -> "Administration" -> "Update Manager"

*** 2- click on "check" & wait for it to load

*** 3- now click on "install updates" & wait, it could take a long time
with slow internet connection and/or busy servers.

*** 4- reboot

*** 5- in the "menu bar" go to "System" menu and -> "Administration" ->
"Software Sources"

*** 6-now select the "Updates" tab

*** 7-In the "update" tab, you have to select all the first 4 options:

generally u will have only the first 2 selected:

----------------> you have to select the options "Unsupported updates" =>
the third box

---------------> also select "Pre-released updates" => the forth box

 "DO NOT CLICK REVERT"

*** 8-Now click on close

*** 9-restart

*** 10-login

*** 11-connect to the internet

*** 12,a- When prompted to update do it

* if not prompted:

*** 12,b- in the "menu bar" go to "System" menu and -> "Administration"
-> "Update Manager"

*** 13-in the "update manager" window click on "check" & wait for it to
reload the new software updates

*** 14- now click on "install updates" & wait, it could take a long time
with slow internet connection and/or busy servers.

ALMOST DONE bare with me

*** 15-click close after getting update success

*** 16-go to "System" menu and -> "Preferences" -> "Sound"

*** 17- set:
A-the first 3 choice boxes to "auto detect "
B-the 4th to ALSA
C-the last one to intel HDA

*** 18-restart

& voalaaaaaa it works.

rock on Ubuntu

I have searched all over the net 4 a way to fix it yet this is the only
one that worked 4 me

Let me know if it works out 4 you
good luck
