No sound with new install of Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.

try a tinker with alsamixer (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture).

If you open a terminal from Applications>Accessories>Terminal

and type:

alsamixer

have a look in there, make sure things are on and turned up etc etc

Thanks Sam, but it didn't work. I made sure that nothing was muted and
everything that would turn up I turned up. The alsamixer recognized
the sound card and the chipset but I still have no sound. Anything
else I can try I am willing to give a shot. With the fresh install I
have no data to lose if it gets messy so feel free to get creative.

okay....

sudo apt-get remove alsa

sudo apt-get install alsa

Well I removed and installed alsa and still have no sound. The text in
the terminal suggested alsa-oss so I removed alsa again and installed
alsa-oss. No change with that either. Here is a copy of the terminal
text.

okay, try this

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal

and

sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

That didn't work either.

Hey Sam great news! I had time later today to play around with the
mixer again after the new changes you suggested.

udo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal

> and
>
> sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

There are many new buttons that were not there before. So I clicked
all of them in turn and when I hit the Sigmatel 4-Speaker Stereo
button the sound was there. Thank you for all your help. I am so
excited to have this alternative To MS XP.

Sorry for the accidental e-mail. I was sending an email to my brother-in-law
and it somehow also went to you.

However, your prompt response was impressive.

Thanks
