Public bug reported: I upgraded my Toshiba A15-S157 to Feisty this afternoon, and had a very good experience compared to my upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10. The only problem I had was a lack of sound.
Any program that tried to output sound had no problem telling me it was outputting sound. For instance, XMMS was running as though there was sound coming out of the speakers or the jack, but neither was true. It was playing and the visualization was running, but no sound was actually being output. Upon a tip from another bug report I found that was unrelated to this specific issue, I played around with the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils command. Nothing seemed to work until I ran this: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset And all of a sudden sound blared at me in a normal fashion. Attempting to use the restart command did not resolve the sound issue, but reset did. I fear I may have to use this command at every bootup in order to hear sound, though I have yet to reboot and test. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- No Sound Upon Upgrade to 7.04 (Workaround Included) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108409 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
