Is Your Sound Not Working in 9.10, well have I got the solution for you!

First of all after searching the forums for my sound card and why it did not show up after my laptop went into suspend, sleep or hibernate. I stumbled on to this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1296221

Where I was subsequently lead to the Ubuntu Help webpage on Sound Troubleshooting:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

then it lead me to git.alsa-project.org the specific web page is here:

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kmirror.git

where I noticed that they are going to remove the suspending of the sound card by the system when ever your pc/laptop enters sleep, suspend or hibernate.

So then I remembered back to when I was having problems with my sound card for 9.04 and then it hit me about the alsa-base.conf file and how it has the lines about the sound card being configured to suspend whenever my laptop enters sleep, suspend or hibernate and so I entered this command into the terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I commented out these configuration lines in the file:

# Power down HDA controllers after 10 idle seconds
# options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N

Next I went back to this web page and found out how to not only reload my sound card but make it so that every time I boot, reboot or wake my computer from its sleep modes that the sound driver is always loaded:

First I entered this into the command line (or terminal) to reload my driver.

sudo alsa force-reload

Second I entered this command to find my driver which is found by using this command:

lspci -v

Then I added my driver to a new line at the bottom of the /etc/modules file you access it with the terminal using this command:

gksudo gedit /etc/modules

Finally I rebooted (WHICH IS A MUST) in order to get my sound to work properly.

Now I can Listen to Rhythm Box, VLC, Games and Streaming web content with ease.

How is this supposed to look? I see my sound card with all sorts of data. Do I include it all or just the driver name?

Thanks

just the name.

snd-hda-intel is my driver name.

snd-viaxxxx is another type of driver name where xxxx is the chipset number? i think.
