[SOLVED] Sound help

[Steve509]

How do i turn on "Soundcore module" ??

[devils casper]

Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Could you explain your problem a bit more?

[Steve509]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. My problem is that I get no sound at all. My onboard sound card is the realtek AC'97 but when I type in the sudo lspci it shows a different one. When I first installed Ubuntu 9.10 i did get sound for a moment but now nothing at all.

Is system sound working?
Execute alsamixer command and try to change volume settings.

I opened the mixer and was able to up the volume on all that would let me and I even rebooted but still no sound. When I type in the lspci command this is what i get:

The last time i did this it showed that I had the ACL something audio card when I have the AC'97.
Not sure if this is the same or not

PS. System sound is not working. I have a dual boot along with Win XP x64 bit and the sound works just fine. Maybe i need to get a sound card that supports Linux?

I right clicked on the speaker icon & went to Sound preferences, clicked on the hardware tab and at the bottom under profile I chose different settings until I got sound. I had to try different settings because some of them, although they worked, sounded terrible. I found one thay seems to work great...Thanks for all the help.
