First, it was no wireless (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2017612), which has not been fixed yet

Now, my SOUND does not work! I get the bongo sounds when the login screen comes up, and it works fine in Windows Vista, but not in 12.04.

When I type:
alsamixer
It shows nothing is muted. It's set to 100% (high). So, when I type:
aplay -l
I get:

Typing:

When I had 10.04 LTS, both worked fine. But, like I said in the no-one-has-fixed post above, I installed on a "clean" partition, and now, neither works. Almost makes me want to get rid of 12.04 and find an earlier 11.xx version and hope that works. Or find (I no longer have) a 10.04 LTS.
