Re: NO sound

With the modules installed, you might be able to

sudo modprobe soundcore

and

sudo modprobe ac97_bus

now -- give it a try.

Re: NO sound

nope to that too

Re: NO sound

Okay, this is getting frustrating (I know for you to be sure).

If you boot from your LiveCD do you have working sound? If you do, then we know there isn't a conflict with your hardware.

Re: NO sound

well,sound has been working before


but i'm gonna check the live CD thing 2 make sure anyway

Re: NO sound

u can also try this, - kmenu - run command, kcontrol, sound and multimedia - second tab - select alsa and apply - if not, first tab, un-check auto suspend if idle for and hit apply, try again on the sound, do u get any, if not turn off the sound system un-check it and apply do u get sound now?

..........

Just throwing out there some suggs. and by the way turning off the sound system shouldn't turn off sound.

Re: NO sound

I'm booting now using my live CD,and i can hear sounds when windows minimize and restore,i think the problem isn't with my hardware

Re: NO sound

okay when u reboot into the main hd kubuntu, at the esc countdown on grub, press esc and if there is an older kernel boot into it, ?

do u now get sound?

[Snowhog]

Re: NO sound

Okay. Sound works using the LiveCD. While running from the LiveCD, open a console and type:

lsmod | grep snd
lsmod | grep ac97

What's returned now?

Re: NO sound

i booted the2.6.24-19 generic kernel,now sound returned,at last


will it boot the same kernel next time,or i have to choose it every time i boot?

[Snowhog]

Re: NO sound

You can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and change:

default 0

to

default saved

This causes the kernel option you boot to be saved as the 'default' boot option the next time you boot. While it doesn't reorder your Grub menu list (AFAIK), the 'last booted kernel' will already be highlighted when you reboot.

If you opt not to make this change to your menu.lst file, then yes, you would just have to select the kernel you want.

Re: NO sound

can u give me a screenshot of what line 2 change exactly,coz i'm kinda confused about which one 2 modify,thank u all for helping me ppl

[nowshining]

Re: NO sound

it's like second from the top - alas use nano or kate, but in a terminal type example:

sudo kate /boot/grub/menu.lst

then

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default     0

Re: NO sound

but it IS already zero,do i erase it and rewrite it again then save?

[nowshining]

Re: NO sound

change the zero to the word saved, save the file and now reboot and do what u did last time and reboot in the kernel that fixed ur sound

or

u can change the # to a diff #,

example it goes

0 - Top kernel
1 - Top kernel recovery
2 - 2nd kernel
3 - 2nd kernel recovery

and so forth. - then the next time u reboot, it will reboot automatically into the working kernel that doesn't have problems with your soundcard, etc.. so that way you won't have to press esc at the command prompt, etc..
