Hi

i am having a problem with my sound.
I followed the guide here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
and it didnt work.
I am on ubuntu 9.04

If i do these steps:
1. Close all applications that may be accessing the sound card.
2. Open the "PulseAudio Device Chooser" from Applications/Sound & Video. Click on the applet icon, and click "Volume Control...". Click on the "Playback" tab.
3. Launch the application you wish to test and allow it to play sound.
4. Check PulseAudio Volume Control's Playback tab and see if the application displays an entry while the application is (or should be) playing audio.

I can see that the application does plays audio and does list an entry in the Playback tab.

jo@jo-desktop:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found...
jo@jo-desktop:~$


jo@jo-desktop:~$ lspci -v > Desktop/lspci-v.txt
jo@jo-desktop:~$

check attachment for output.

I think i should install a driver for my soundcard... but i dont know which one.
Thanks
Jo

Wootss

After checking my own lspci-v output I found the driver (hopefully) i should install
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device d606
Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 22
Memory at 93100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

So what i did is:
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

Now i have:
jo@jo-desktop:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
jo@jo-desktop:~$


then edited
sudo nano /etc/modules
and added snd-hda-intel at the end of the file. SAVED and RESTARTED

but still when i try to play a video with totem i can see the video but NO SOUND.
All I head is a shushing sound everytime i play music... but not the music itself :S
jo@jo-desktop:~$ totem Desktop/s.wmv
