No sound on ubuntu

[r0adrunner]

Hi, i have a problem with my sound card. The os recognises the sound card (a build in intel one) but i cannot get the sound to work. I have checked that the volumes are not muted (they arn't).

Is there any way to find out which drivers are installed with it?

Any other suggestions would be warmly welcomed

Open a terminal and enter this code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

See if the above helps. I had to do this to get sound properly through Firefox.

thnx man ill try dat

if that doesn't work:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

add this to the bottom

options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack

if that doesn't work:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

add this to the bottom

options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack

Shouldn't that be

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

[jmadero]

yeah it should

rOadrunner, try this, if you still don't have any sound:

In a terminal enter alsamixer
and adjust Main, Headphone, PCM and Front to desired settings.

This is what I had to end up doing so it would remember the volume settings after a reboot.

have already tried this but thnx man

Did you run alsmixer with admin rights?

sudo alsamixer

I finally ended up using the instructions from here

and now everything is as it should be. The sound is not muted every time I reboot my computer, what a joy for something to work the way it is supposed to.
