ya know what.. that does make sense since that is where win7 installs games and all.

thanks a lot for your time and help

Wait a minute! I found it!

Dummy me! What I did was look at the properties of the shortcut on my desktop to see where it was pointing to. And VOILA!

This is where my WoW got installed to:...

That doesn't exist when I type that into the nautilus search bar.

I have a feeling that when I used the installer from wow.com that something got messed up. Everyone, including yourself, keeps...

So I've been reading and searching the many many pages about WoW and WINE.

I have an issue that I can't seem to find anyone else having.

I can't find the WorldOfWarcraft folder with all of its...

yea, it even has the same little speaker logo above it as does the green jack port. and it always worked in windows.

i will just get a splitter then and do it that way. just need headphone sound...

then why did it always work in windows?

ok, if i disconnect the green jack for my main speakers and plug my headset into that, then I do get sound.

If i try to just use the blue, headset jack, i get no sound even with main speakers...

i will try the unhooking of speakers before headset

I don't believe so. If PA wasn't included with 9.10 then it's not installed

I may have to retry to hook up the front sound ports. maybe you are right and my rear jack is broke... I didn't hook them up because it didnt' work becaue obviously the MB wasn't made specifically...

also, right before i installed Ubuntu I was using Windows and everything was fine

hmmm... tried pair of ipod headphones and still no sound.....

Ok, Redsingularity told me i should start a new thread with my problem.

I have Ubuntu 9.10. Clean install. I have a cheap headset but can't get sound to come thru the headset. The mic works, but...

After alot of searching, and trying a lot of different things, and still not getting headphones working. I'm just going to give up for now.

My problem is I didn't buy my computer from a company. I...

Ok, thanks. I did do lspci -v and here is the readout for my sound device:

00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device...

Thanks, I followed what you said in that topic word for word, but then I had NO sound whatsoever once I added that line to the alsa file.

Thanks anyways... still have no sound thru headphones

Im in the same boat as the OP. I have Nvidia ALC883 analog also and I have sound but no sound from headphones.

Been searching and trying things for over a week and still no headphone sound.....
...

someone answered my problem , using gksu nautilus , i am able to see the content of the file now. thanks anyways

could you real quickly explain what the command gksu is please?

EDIT**** Nevermind, I did a google search and found my answer. Again thank you for quick and short reply to my problem

YAY! That seemed to work. I can now open the alsa-base.conf and see it , now to see if I can edit it. But at least I can see it lol.

Thank you Thank you Thank you so much

and it being moved to alsa-base.conf is not the problem. No matter what .conf file i open with the sudo command with gedit or using terminal the file is blank

Ive opened that; /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , but its blank in edit mode and viewable in read only

just an update. Ive tried changing themes , thinking that maybe the text color was white on white background, but thats not the case.

Also tried highlighting all text and that doesnt help either....

If I open a system file, specifically I need to open alsa-base.conf, with sudo the file is blank?

But if I open it and itś read only then I CAN see whats written. Very odd, or maybe im just really...
