Hardy Heron Beta upgrade no sound card detected

I have the exact same problem with Hardy Beta...

What can I do? Any preferences I should erase?

which kernel are you using ?
What is the output of "uname -a"

And do you have an nvidia video card ?

If you are using 2.6.24-12-386 and have an nvidia card then you should try with the 2.6.24-12-generic kernel

possible cause: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/188287/

Hanusz, you're are correct that i'm using 2.6.24-12-386, uname -a output:
Linux detox 2.6.24-12-386 #1 Wed Mar 12 22:30:29 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

and the video card is nvidia:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 18
        Memory at f3000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
        Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at fbff0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

However, so far when i've tried to boot using the generic kernel, it hangs. Someone else reported this issue
in the bug you mentioned, and their suggested work-around fixed that hang.

and now that i can boot to the generic kernel, sound works great!

thanks very much

I'm not sure this is really solved, because it does not help users who don't know how to boot using the generic kernel or those who don't want to mess with the boot sequence. What is offered here is a work-around rather than a real solution. A real solution would have the sound work right out of the box, regardless of what hardware you are using.

Chin, you're right the sound should work out the box.

You have to make the distinction between the question and the actual bug.
The question is solved.
The bug is not solved.

I have exactly the same problem with my creative audigy card and so have reverted to the on-board sound card until the problem gets fixed!! :( I am also using nvidia video card.. Hopefully this update will come through to the Update-Manager soon!

Hi, I also have the very same issue with the generic version

Linux phenix 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Graphic card is NVidia, though glx-new driver is disabled.

Any Idea ?
Thanks

Please be sure all needed kernel modules are installed to make this check and install them:
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then reboot your pc.

Always useful is the online Ubuntu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/

Hope this helps

Thanks but the system is up to date.

 I tried as well to use the nvidia-glx-new driver but the issue remains.

When I boot I can choose between
Linux phenix 2.6.24-16-generic
Linux phenix 2.6.24-14-generic

Trouble remains.

That is a pity because the version upgrade worked amazingly good on another pc.
