I just figured out a procedure to make the sound work again in my hp laptop. Usually, I use the laptop connected to the power source. If I shut down, disconnect the power and boot using the battery, Feisty comes up with sound again. I also verified that booting Vista (on my dual boot laptop) kills the sound after I reboot with Linux. Apparently, the bug does have something to do with ACPI. " So, I tried to boot my laptop on battery, and "oh miracle" the sound works fine. I put the AC current back and the sound was still there. But another bug appears : putting headphones does not shut down speackers !!! a known bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/94566 Hope this helps Yann -- Regression: no sound in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152142 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
