Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 for my inbuilt sound card which lspci and asound shows as follows: lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xfbff8000 irq 22 This works well with Windows XP after installing the driver from the CD given by the motherboard manufacturer. The gnome sound preferences is not muted and shows the card as Intel internal audio. I tried increasing the volume levels in the sound preferences and selecting different Audio Profiles (Eg: Stereo Duplex etc) but I dont get any sound.
