    sound card troubles

    Newbie question:

    I've rescued a pc whose windows installation had gone belly-up several months back. It seems that everything except sound is working. I ran "aplay -l" on the command line, and it gave me:

    "**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0"

    This means that it's detecting the sound card, but when I play something, there's no sound. Does this mean that I need to try download the driver for it?

    Hello and welcome to the forums!

    You might try going through these articles for troubleshooting sound in Ubuntu if you haven't done so already:

    Ah. I'm away from my machine at the moment, but these seem like they should help.

    Classic new guy mistake #34: Not checking distribution documentation.

    EDIT: Apparently, there's no support at the moment for my sound card. Thanks.
