Public bug reported: There have been numerous reports of this bug in Ubuntu 9.10 upgrades and installs.
The 2 specific symptoms I am addressing are: 1) No sound, even though with the correct sound card drivers installed 2) The Volume Control tool-tip says "Dummy Output" Under System, Administration, Hardware Drivers, see if there is a Modem Driver installed. If there is, remove it, reboot and see if your sound comes back. The The Volume Control tool-tip should say something like "Internal Audio Analog Stereo." NOTE: Ubuntu 9.04 had NO problem with the Modem Driver being installed. So there is a bug in Ubuntu 9.10 with Modem Drivers. Could be the driver OR Ubuntu.
