Sound and video card problem pavilion tx 2000

[markmai86]

Hello,

I have just installed the latest version of Ubuntu and I'm pretty new to this. I have partitionned my hard drive so I can have some programs I still need in windows.

The problem is that my sound works perfectly with windows and I have only a modem sound like with ubuntu (only beeps...)

I have tried some command lines I found on the net but nothing worked. Maybe the sound is set to a settings which prevents other sounds that beeps, but I can't solve the problem.

I have tried all the options and autodetect in the sound settings preferences (in the system menu) and nothing worked after testing (where I suppose I should here any kind of sound).

So basically when I receive mail with Evolution I get a beep and that is about the only sound I have.

I also think my video card is not installed as the games I have installed are running really slow... but I really have no idea on how to set up the video card.

Thanks for helping me

PS: I have a laptop HP pavillion tx 2000 from 2008

Hmmm... You don't have the tx2000... I think you have a tx2500... (since you have ATI graphics.) Confirm this by looking on the bottom sticker by the model: tag.
There are *several* threads on how to get everything to work. (Just search with "tx2*" without the quotes.)

On your two issues,
Graphics:
Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
and enable everything.
Sound I am not quite sure about, so search the forums with that tag I gave you and you will find plenty of threads. Just look for something like "HOWTO: Set up tx2500 blah blah"

Hi markmai86,

For the TX2500 you want to add the line:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba position_fix=1

to the end of the alsa-base.conf file. Which used to be called alsa-base before Jaunty. To do that in a terminal enter:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Add the line to the end. Save and restart.

Hope this helps.
