I followed the guide here and in completely jacked my audio. So I reversed it and went back to alsa which works 80% of the time. Problem I have now though is:
1. When I log into gdm it fails the first time and works the 2nd.
2. My audio buttons on my laptop no longer control my media players. And yes I reset them in keyboard shortcuts. Though the media button still opens vlc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Well I got the volume ones to work but the previous,next,play/pause,and stop buttons still don't work.
What is KeyTouch and what kind of laptop do you have?

It's a really cool app some guy wrote to tell Linux how to use the multimedia buttons on his comp.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600, but KeyTouch has tons of different keyboard models to choose from. It didn't have my exact one but I chose another Dell and it works fine.

Hello, I followed your guide here, and while my videos are playing great again, I have no sound. That is no sound across the board.
I have noticed that sound seems to be a massive problem with Ubuntu, even more so than video. Many of the video problems I had were solved with maybe 1 to 3 fixes. My printer was a piece of cake and I had no trouble at all with configuring USB devices.
Sound right now is a major issue. I must have tried over a dozen fixes and nothing is working right.
Just for the record this is what I have and what I want to do:
My system
Dell Dimension 4600 with 2.8ghz proc, 1.5gig ram, nVidia 5200 series video card with 256meg ram (I think...that is the ram, but I know it is a 5200 series card). Sound Card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi (currently configured to use OSS as ALSA will NOT work with this card).
This is what I want to do:
1) Basic functions such as internet surfing and emails, document creation. No problem there as most of these functions work natively with Ubuntu
2) Gaming machine: My larger "heavy" games I am going to still rely on Windows XP, but I would like to use Ubuntu for older games and play native Linux games with. I am also into emulations.
This is what I WANT to do:
a) Emulators:
Sega Genesis
Atari 2600
NES
SNES
N64
DosBox
b) Native Linux games (basically anything that comes along that I like)
c) Some Windows emulations...so Wine has to work with sound too.
The next part of the sound package is audio and video editing.
These are the programs I need to work with sound:
Audacity
RoseGarden
Ardour
Cinelerra (this always did work with sound)
Open Movie Editor
I also want my internet to fully work with sound and video play back (which is a given).
As a final note, I been thinking about upgrading Ubuntu to Ubuntu Studio.
Should I do that first since as of now my sound is royally messed up and perhaps I should install that before doing any further tweeking?
Thanx, I would appreciate any help as this is becoming very frustrating.

Anyone find a fix for gdm restarting or getting the media keys working again?
Edit: I redid the directions and audio works good now. But I'm still having the gdm and media keys problem.

Hello all,
I have since updated Ubuntu to Ubuntu Studio. I must say, really nice looking interface and many many cool apps.
One of the reasons I upgraded to Ubuntu Studio today was in the hope of correcting my sound problems. Sadly OSS and sound still isn't working.
However, at this point I pretty much have everything loaded on to Ubuntu that I want to work with. So I am hoping that I can get my sound fixed.
