Upgraded to 9.10.
No sound. Was working prior to upgrade.
aplay -l
outputs
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
Audio device should be :
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 82bb
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
Memory at f9ff4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
Other threads have suggested running alsamixer manually from terminal, this results with :
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Attempted the following :
sudo nano /etc/modules
added snd-hda-intel to the end of the file, saved.
ran alsamixer, again, alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
At this point I'm following this guide : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
Which looking back, I've done what it's asked, continuing on.
The guide has me remove and reinstall ALSA.
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
then
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
and I also had to reinsall ubuntu-desktop as the ALSA purge removed it for some reason.
sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop
Then rebooted.
Still no luck, alsamixer still returns the No such file or directory error.
The guide is asking now that I compile the ALSA drivers from scratch... which I think is getting a little out of hand and slightly off base.
There MUST be a simple explanation as to why the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 has stopped my HDA-Intel sound card from being usable.
There were a few suggestions for Dell laptop users on other threads that have them edit a .conf file and add the model of their dell laptop to the HDA-Intel driver... but I'm not using a dell laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
