Tecra sound card.

**lightfoot** · May 1st, 2008

Hi All,

I've just loaded Ubuntu 8.04 onto a Toshiba Tecra T9100 and have no sound. My volume icon has a red warning sign over it, clicking the icon gives me an error window that says "No volume control Gstreamer plugins and/or devices found(I also have another identical laptop on which the sound works ok ....but has other problems).

So I started following the instructions on the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide thread....

Step 1....

rachel@rachel-laptop:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

Step 2....

Am I right in saying that no sound card is listed and should there be something like this be listed....

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

I checked to see if it was disabled in the systems BIOS, but found no mention of a sound card?...So what do I do next, can I reinstall it from somewhere ?

Sorry this is all very new to me and I haven't got much of clue when it comes to computers....wood is more my thing, so go gentle !

Do you have installed linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic (or whichever module applies to the kernel you are running).

Installing this resolved my similar issue with no detected sound card.

I'm not sure, how do I find out ?

Do
uname -r
to see which kernel you are running
(it is probably 2.6.24-16-generic)
Do
dpkg -l | grep linux-ubuntu-modules
and see if this returns anything

If if doesn't return anything then do
sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic
(assming you are using 2.6.24-16-generic) and reboot
