A quick google of the output from that command and "ubuntu" came up with the following: =================================== Re: Audio (SB450) stopped working after upgrading to 7.04 Quote: Originally Posted by djails View Post To all of you with a ATI SB450 sound problem in feisty: If your sound card is an ATI SB450 in a toshiba laptop like mine which used to work in edgy but not in feisty anymore, here is the solution given to me on the alsa-devel ML: Code: sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=auto It worked for me. The probe_mask param allows the correct discovery of the sound codec, which otherwise is masked by the modem. if it does the job for you, make it permanent by adding "options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=auto" at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Let me know if it works for you. For reference: Code: lspci -nnv -s 00:14.2 00:14.2 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio [1002:437b] (rev 01) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Unknown device [1179:ff10] Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 19 Memory at d0500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> geez man....you're a genius ....got it working in no time....now I can listen to my Sasha and Digweed as much as I want ) Thanks....owe u one ======================= The full post is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415821&page=3 so give it a whirl and see what happens. You will need to be root to execute the modprobe and rmmod commands, so open a command line and type sudo su - followed by your normal user password.
