Public bug reported: I installed the ubuntu 9.10 upgrade over the ubuntu 9.04 system from the update manager. Previously I had sound for a day or two, until I broke the system and reinstalled 9.04. Then no sound. I have installed just about every alsa package I can find in synaptic package manager. NO SOUND! My system is a COMPAQ DESKPRO EN PII 450 196 mb Ram Maxtor 6.1gb HD & Seagate 10.4 HD The SOUND CARD is ONBOARD "ESS 1869"
So here is the step 3 info from sound troubleshooting page; ja...@ujon:~$ bash alsa-info.sh --pastebin ALSA Information Script v 0.4.58 -------------------------------- This script visits the following commands/files to collect diagnostic information about your ALSA installation and sound related hardware. dmesg lspci lsmod aplay amixer alsactl /proc/asound/ /sys/class/sound/ ~/.asoundrc (etc.) See 'alsa-info.sh --help' for command line options. cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /dev/snd/*: No such file or directory grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory /sbin/alsactl: save_state:1502: No soundcards found... cat: /tmp/alsa-info.GDSSSwK78b/alsactl.tmp: No such file or directory Automatically upload ALSA information to pastebin?
