    Exclamation No Sound After Update

    I recently updated my kernel and now sound won't play. I booted an older kernel with grub and sound came back fine. So I think it's a kernel issue, but I wouldn't know how to report it on Launchpad. I made no other changes before sound was lost.

    Comp is a Dell Mini 9 Netbook. Running Ubu 10.04UNR.
    C'mon, try Linux. You know you buntu!

    I've also just noticed that I've lost sound on my Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu 10.04.

    Lightbulb [SOLVED] Re: No Sound After Update

    Found the fix for those who have lost sound on the Dell Mini 9 after the update to kernel 2.6.32-34.

    Edit the file alsa-base.conf by running the following command:-

    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
    Add this line to the end of the file, save, and reboot

    Code:
    options snd-hda-intel model=dell
    The launchpad bug is here;-

    Re: [SOLVED] Re: No Sound After Update

    Thanks danellisuk! I have sound again without having to load previous kernels. I guess I don't need to add the bug to launchpad if they already know it's there.

    Hi Tonya_in_FL, it's cool to hear when a post helps people, so thanks for the feedback.

    I included a link to the bug, because a neat feature of launchpad is you can mark the bug as affecting you (in the upper left). This allows developers to track how many people an issue affects, if an issue affects many people, it is more likely be fixed properly, so go ahead if you can.

    Additionally, if you are interested, you can subscribe to the bug (right hand side) and receive updates about the progress of the bug.
