12.04 terminal cannot find alsamixer

[okkie]

I am setting up my new 12.04 system.Progress sofar good.
First I cuuldn't boot the system until my ATI graphics card was removed.
I have no sound.I go terminal alsamixer ......no such file or directory.It appears that my install disk did not have a complete 12.04 system.Where is alsamixer and is there another way to get to it or is there a script I can run to to add whatever is missing on my system or is getting old getting the better of me?
I only have the computer's onboard sound system which should be ample.
Any help please

Install alsa-utils

[okkie]

according to the software centre it is installed and I can only uninstall alsa-utils.tried again,terminal says 'command not found'

[shreepads]

That's weird...

What does Synaptic say about alsa-utils install status?

Other guess would be the PATH variable is set incorrectly...

Hi ,

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

Thanks

You haven't pasted the full command...

It seems to have downloaded alsa-info.sh correctly, now just check it has and then run

$ bash alsa-info.sh --upload

[okkie]

in the process of getting things right I forgot about this probably because I don't exactly know what it is.I copy and paste .Please let me know what you think and thanks for your help.

okkie@okkie-desktop:~$ bash alsa-info.sh --upload
Uploading information to www.alsa-project.org ... Done!
