8.04 sound problems

[grayfox444]

I installed sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
but the sound still cuts off once in a while and the only way to fix it is by restarting. are there any more fixes for this?

Did you upgrade?. The Hardy I know has no sound problems.

[grayfox444]

this is on hardy heron.

Is it a clean install? If so, check your sound card. This is mine:
*-multimedia

how do i check the sound card?

[Pumalite]

lshw -C sound

What does it say after *mutimedia? UNCLAIMED?

I have no sound at all. Did a clean install from CD. Using onboard sound with an ASUS P5B-PLUS motherboard.

lshw -C sound gives me:


lshw -C sound

Try:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic
Reboot.

Seems it can't find the package to install.

Go to:

Reload.
Try again.

Under Third-Party Software tab, I have:

checked as well.

I still get the same output; it can't find the package.

It's nor in the repos then. Anyway, I find strange that Hardy Heron would not recognize your card in a clean install. Burn a new CD and install again.

Grayfox444: A bit of googling got me the repository with the linux-backports-module (deb http://ftp.crihan.fr/ubuntu/ hardy-backports restricted main multiverse universe), but installing it got me nowhere. Try it anyway, and good luck.

[grayfox444]

i think i've figured it out.
the sound won't play if there is a pair of headphones plugged in as well. so it's only running one output apparently.

is there a way to change that? i could do that on feisty fawn.
