    Need help restoring sound on my Samsung NP350 with Ubuntu 12.04 64bit

    Hi everybody,
    I made some mess with the packages on my laptop (a Samsung NP350) with Ubuntu 12.04 64bit (fully updated),
    and as a consequence the sound no longer works (I tried to install Cinnamon, but didn't like it and when I removed it
    some packages where deleted including pulseaudio and some sound related ones; now I stick with Gnome Fallback).

    I have tried to follow the steps in the sticky post, but they didn't help me (and seem a bit outdated).

    In my sound settings I can see a device called Dummy Output, no input device and hardware detected (before I messed with my computer
    the card was correctly detected and everything worked just fine).

    I have no idea how to detect and solve the issue.

    Removing the .pulse directory didn't help, nor issuing
    Code:
    pulseaudio -k
    .
    Actually with
    Code:
    pulseaudio -k
    sometimes I don't receive any message, other times I get an error message:
    E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process
    Any help in finding the problem and possibly solving it would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for all the effort!

    Cheers,
    Luca

    apparently I restored the sound following the guide here: http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1304-quick-tip/
    although the sound indicator still shows no sound-card.
