Hello,
First time linux user, so please be patient. Installed ubuntu 10.10 a couple nights ago. After getting graphics card to work (don't ask how - well you guys helped), now trying to get sound to work. Thought this was supposed to be easier/better than windows. Oh well.
Anyway, not that I know what alsa or anything of this stuff is, how do I install alsa driver 1.0.24 (I read it is supposed to get my sound working). I downloaded it, and extracted to desktop...and now no clue what to do, i.e. how to actually install it.
INFO: ubuntu 10.10, GNOME, sound card: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition, current driver: snd-hda-intel (I read that this is pre-installed).
To the best of my knowledge, nothing is muted. I some installed pulseaudio and all that, and unmuted etc...
Really close to giving up, funny, with Windows all I have to do is unmute and increase volume...
Any help would be appreciated!!
