No sound device in Sound Preference

[zmp]

Hey everyone,

Ive been trying to figure out how to make input work on my sound card device and followed a bunch of guides, which in the end screwed up everything and now i cant seem to find my sound card in Sound Preference. Tried searching on the forums for anything, like reinstall alsa, pulseaudio etc.

alsaconf and lshw seems to be able to detect my sound card.

sudo lshw:

*-multimedia
description: Multimedia audio controller
product: SB X-Fi
vendor: Creative Labs
physical id: 7
bus info: pci@0000:03:07.0
version: 00
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=SB-XFi latency=32 maxlatency=5 mingnt=4
resources: irq:17 ioport:ac00(size=32) memory:efc00000-efdfffff memory:e8000000-ebffffff

I just dont understand why its not in Sound Preference in Ubuntu anymore. - http://imageshack.dk/imagesfree/ihL98536.png

Welcome to ubuntu

open a terminal: applications>qccessories>terminal

 alsamixer

Make sure master,pcm, mic/line in are turned up >use l/r arrows on keypad to change selection up/down arrows to raise/lower, sometimes not all sliders are visible in terminal screen, press rt/arrow to bring into view.

make sure correct sound card is selected, press F6 to see options,

What app are you using, make sure correct card is selected ?

Use the alsa-info-script to provide detailed information.
Run this command in a terminal:

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

Enter your user password when prompted. Choose the upload option and provide a link for the output.

You have a mismatch in alsa components.If you have alsa-backports installed, please uninstall, then use the upgrade link in my sig to get v 1.0.23

use the upgrade link in my sig to get v 1.0.23

Thanks, that worked. Now i can see my card and play sound again.

Thanks again
