Fix for "no sound" issue in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)

thanks! this solved my problem.
i need to do this everytime after reboot...any ideas?
Prashant: You probably don't have to do that every time after boot if you remove pulseaudio. Hope it helps. (I've so far run Intrepid Ibex only as livecd.)
i spent a few hours talking to people in both irc://freenode/#alsa and irc://freenode/#pulseaudio on how to get audio working on my intrepid setup.
To get PulseAudio to work, this is basically what I had to do:
Create a file called ~/.pulse/default.pa with these contents:
#!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF
.include /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:0 rate=44100 sink_name=mysink
set-default-sink mysink
I can't say if PulseAudio sucks or not, but it definitely doesn't work out of the box with Ubuntu. But now, audio works, even in Flash, which wasn't happening for me before (although I don't know if that's thanks to PulseAudio).
You might also try going to System -> Preferences -> Sessions and unchecking pulseaudio
Hey thanks! This solved my problem at last :)...
Pulse is working fine in ubuntu 8.10 you need to add the user to the pulse audio group if you want access to sound. Follow this guide.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio and restart ubuntu after you are finished!
There is a solution to all of your problems here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866965
Here's the upshot:
2. Configure libao applications to use PulseAudio:
Code:
$ echo "default_driver=pulse" >~/.libao
3. Perform the following steps to remove obsolete configuration files, ensure "libflashsupport" is not installed & you have the all the necessary packages up-to-date:
Code:
$ rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asoundrc*
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport
$ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins padevchooser libao-pulse libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
NOTE: Choose Yes to allow unsigned packages to be installed.
4. Go to System/Preferences/Sound. Set all "Sound playback" options to "Autodetect", and set "Sound capture" to "ALSA".
5. Reboot for changes to take effect!
And after doing all that make sure you set the 'PCM' volume in the volume control up to maximum. I just got a crackling noise before doing that.
Great!! Thank you so much!
It takes whole two days before I got this answer!!
Thanks! It worked for me!
Thanks you very much friends.. That solved my problem. AWESOME!
Thanks So Much This Helped Me Out So Much!!
Thanks! this fixed my problem too. How about a fix for Skype now...Sound test works, but "call fails" - Must be sound related.
A note for other newbies like me.
I tried this procedure twice still no sound no where. Sound worked when booted to Vista.
Then I found this to run from terminal.
alsamixer -D hw:0 It shows all channels on the sound card. I took the mutt of PCM and no everything is working.
Thanks rickle. Simple and efficient. Everything works fine now

what should i do???thx for help
Hi guys,
I have followed the directions by ¨Neil¨ and found that I still don´t have any sound. It is a new install (Ubuntu 8.10), applied users to Pulse group, followed Neils directions and rebooted. Sound setting are as Neils recommendation.
(only command that didn´t work was ¨rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asoundrc*¨ it says that it doesn´t exist)
This hasn´t worked for me. Hardware works fine when I had Win XP installed.
Is there anything else I could do to get some sound working on the notebook?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Try using alsamixer as above and disabling the external amplifier. (press m when it is highlighted)
when i loaded ubuntu the sound was perfect. then once when i was shutting down, it hung, i had to shut it forcibly.since then ive not been able to get any sound. i tried restarting, reloading ALSA.not working.help!
finally! used the alsamixer like above (type this in console: alsamixer -D hw:0) pressed tab, went over to "front" and pressed "m" key on the keyboard to unmute it
my laptop still no have sound, what can i do? my laptop is acer aspire 5050..... i`m so sad no tip can`t solve my problems
Thanks it truly solved my age old problem....
