I can't install my audio driver

**dbyjazz** · October 23rd, 2009

I have a Gateway MX3228 Notebook and I've had this problem ever since I installed Ubuntu about 6 months ago and I've finally had enough. How the heck do I get my audio driver installed?! Nobody has been able to tell me what to do. Please help.

here is my sudo lspci just in case you need it.
