I am not sure that we can help you. You followed a guide that is not officially endorced by the Ubuntu audio developers, and it appears that following the guide has made things worse for your system, since aplay/arecord are not able to see any devices.
Please download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and run it from a terminal like so: bash ./alsa-info.sh - assuming you are in the same directory where you saved alsa-info.sh. Please attach the file that gets created to this bug report, for further analysis. affects ubuntu/alsa-driver status incomplete ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- No sound after fresh (initial) install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619437 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
