Use the command lspci and the lshw command for the list of the hardwares in your system.

[drs305]

These commands should give you what you want:


sudo lshw -C multimedia
lspci | grep "Audio" # if no hits, change to 'audio' or remove ' | grep "Audio" '

[sunal]

On lshw .... i get this

[Michael.Godawski]

Isn't the driver already installed?
taken from the lshw output:


configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=64 module=snd_hda_intel

have you read the troubleshooting guide I posted above? and tried the steps suggested there? Feel free to ask if you do not understand the steps described there completely.

Help!

After using a script for installing a new alsa version I have lost my soundcard!

I am using an Amilo M 7400 with Ubuntu Intrepid.

My soundcard is a 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)


Do you have any idea for getting it back!
