No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Hey guys,
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 (from Windows 7), and I've noticed that I have no sound in Ubuntu--not on YouTube, not while logging in. In fact, I don't recall ever hearing any sound while running Ubuntu.
I've searched on Google for a bit, but none of the fixes online have worked for me. I've checked my sound preferences, and everything I see is maxed out.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Try:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
and reboot.
(it worked for me on a sony vaio.)

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Looks like this got me sound, BUT now my computer freezes after a certain amount of time from being booted. If I log in as quickly as possible, I have only a few seconds to do anything on the computer.
I like the sound, but not at the expense of being unable to use my computer. :/ Any way to undo this change?

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
I had to re-install Ubuntu because of my computer freezing up.
paprefs / gnome-alsamixer didn't work for me. gnome-alsamixer didn't even show any options.
I'm currently looking through the "sound troubleshooting" link you gave me, but in the meanwhile, does anyone have any ideas?

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
What are you installing on? Cuz if its a HP laptop, I have had to do an audio driver update for my sound to work on an hp dv3t. heres the link to it. I wouldn't do it unless your using an hp laptop. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1159778

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Hi all,
I've just lost my audio after an update. I didn't realize it at the moment since I didn't have any audio playing. (I was actually working!) However, after quickly trying to restart pulse audio (to no avail), rebooting, and the instructions in this thread, I'm still without sound.
I installed gnome-alsamixer. When accessing it, there is nothing in the box. There's only the border that says, "Gnome-Alsamixer." When I try to access the sound card through it, it just disappears.
System>Preferences>Sound doesn't help either. There's nothing under Hardware, nothing under Input, and Output has "Dummy Output" enabled. (I've never seen that before.) Under Applications there's Alsa plug-in (firefox-bin).
I'm fresh out of ideas. Any one with any thoughts?

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Now, to make matters worse, I've lost icons off the top panel menu (which I can live with) but I've lost my internet connection. My laptop (also running 10.04 but on an upgrade not fresh install) has full connection right beside my now ailing desktop. The desktop has a USB D-Link wifi stick and has, up till now, worked flawlessly.
Add to that the fact that I have not been able to mount my DVD, I'm pretty disillusioned with Lucid. Yes, it is quite a bit faster but these are major issues.
Any one have any thoughts?
This is just crazy. I reboot several times and now I have an internet connection again. I have sound. Now if I could just get the DVD to be recognised!

Had it not been for instructions like these, I'd been on a wild goose chase. Thanks to you I now have the sound back on, on my Sony Vaio Z690. There however seems to be a permanent problem with automatic updates where, after each update the hardware drivers are removed, i.e. I don't find any hardware listed under "Sound Preferences". :confused:
Any ideas about what I can do about this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
This did the thing for me for Ubuntu 10.04 on my HP G62 laptop
Code:
~$ sudo aptitude update
~$ sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
and reboot!
(found the solution here: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/sh....php?t=1570060)

Thanks for this. I've been having a constant problem with losing all sound after automatic updates. I didn't even have to repoot! It just popped back up! :KS

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
I try the recommended above but get the message:
"E: Couldn't find package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-34-generic"
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Mike Daniels, I ran into the same problem myself. From the list, 2.6.32-34 is not on the list yet. The previous version 2.6.32-33 is included, but I don't know if that version would work. Also, I don't know when they will release a new one for your version.

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
I am also having the same problem on my dell mini 9. I really don't want to upgrade to 11.04 because it is quite sluggish.

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Same here, i'm looking for 2.6.32-34 and it isnt there
-
Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
Same here, also looking for the 2.6.32-34 version.
Does anyone know a suitable workaround?
I have been using the "sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)" solution ever since installing 10.04, and this is the first time it has failed to work for me.

Re: No Sound in Ubuntu 10.04
I have a Toshiba Satellite p105-s6024.
I had problems with sound. No sound even on boot.
Ran all the commands in Terminal on the internet I could find.
Scrolling through codes, comparing line by line, etc.
Deleting, redoing, reinstalling OS.
All to no avail.
You no what my problem was?
I updated my BIOS and BAM! Sound.
Hope this helps a Satellite user.
