Hi-

I've just installed Ubuntu (8.04) and I'm having trouble getting sound to work. I followed the instructions in the "Comprehensive Sound Problems" thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 and I'm not having any luck.

Here's what I did:

aplay -l

I'm assuming that my soundcard chipset is the Intel ICH5. So I typed

sudo modprobe sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0

This didn't work. I ran alsamixer, made sure that levels are up. I don't know what to do next. Does anyone have any suggestions, tips, or hints?
