I would really apreciate somebody to take a look at the steps i made, using the link given by Ozar. I am not an advanced linux user yet


my first step was:

gg@gg-laptop:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: INTEL HDMI [INTEL HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

second step:

gg@gg-laptop:~$ sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-'uname -r' linux-generic
