Public bug reported:
Hey there. I installed the recommended kernel version above, which
Ubuntu detected for me in its update check, and upgraded. Also of note
was several PulseAudio updates.
However, I then proceeded to install the Nvidia 180.18 drivers over my
177.x ones, which required a system reboot. Upon rebooting, I noticed my
sound had gone. I did some quick searching around and some people had
reporting something similar with the latest kernel. I checked in
system->hardware drivers, and my Creative X-Fi 1.18 drivers which I had
installed using ./configure, make, make install were no longer listed
I rebooted again, this time, when the 10-second countdown before
actually initialising linux, I pressed escape and chose to boot the
2.6.27-9 kernel I was previously using. Low and behold, my sound card
was working again, and the drivers were listed in the hardware drivers.
When I was in the -11 kernel, I only ran this command:
st...@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
st...@ubuntu:~$
I forgot to run uname -a
however, now I ran:
now:
st...@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l
