Getting Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 to play audio on EeePC. This worked for me.
Thanks to André Gaul at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- utils/+bug/352732/comments/77 who wrote -- "This issue may be a problem in pulseaudio. I managed to get it to work as expected by replacing the line load-module module-device-restore in /etc/pulse/default.pa with #load-module module-device-restore Perhaps you have to logout, kill all pulseaudio daemons, login, adjust volumes, logout and login again to see if it works." Being new to linux, at first, I couldn't modify -- /etc/pulse/default.pa because I didn't have "ownership permission" so first I had to go to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid to find out how to http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_change_files.2Ffolders_permissions You need to open Terminal (located in the Accessories group) then type -- sudo chown system_username /location_of_files_or_folders (My user name is "u" so substiture your user name for "u") so I typed -- sudo chown u /etc/pulse/default.pa (My user name is "u" so substiture your user name for "u") this allows you to use "gedit" (located in the Accessories group) or another word processor to modify the file by adding the "#" to the "load-module module-device-restore" line You may search for this combination by type <Ctrl>-F then filling in -- load-module module-device-restore Before you make any changes to "default.pa" copy it to the Desktop "just in case" After I made the changes, I right clicked on "default.pa" and changed all the permissions back to "Read Only". Restart Ubuntu and, if you are as lucky as I was, you will have sound! Hope this helps, but feel free to contact me if you get stuck. Gesundheit.
