[SOLVED] sound problems in ubuntu 8.10

[chrismarsh1987]

okay so i installed ubuntu 8.10, not an upgrade, new to it all still, anyways i had sound, then i installed my external sound card, its a sweets 7.1 usb sound card, i had sound, then i unplugged it and had no sound from the on board intel sound card, neither headphones nor speakers, i've browsed the forums for about a week and tried varing ideas put forward to the great minds of linux but none worked, so i plugged in the usb card again and had sound, so loud it nearly burst my ear drums, and im a dj so used to loud music lol. anyways managed to turn the volume down but now all i have is static (fuzzy sound) can just hear the music under it al but i cant seem to fix this problem, if anyone can hep get the intel chip working again that'd be great because i dont need the external card. just want to be abe to isten to music and watch videos as i used to. there are no start up sounds, but when you press a button to many times i get the beep. even the test button gives the fuzz. im using an imb thinkpad T23 if that heps. anyway thanks in advance.

that attitude is not needed, as we are all volunteers here.

anyway, did you enable the onboard sound in the BIOS?

If you have Intrepid, you need to do this to get your sound working properly
