slowayne, it appears that the modules for your card are not loading, and the dmesg output confirms it, even though lspci shows that the card exists.
"[17179606.336000] ali15x3_smbus 0000:00:06.0: ALI15X3_smb region uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr [17179606.336000] ali15x3_smbus 0000:00:06.0: ALI15X3 not detected, module not inserted." Could you post the output of `cat /proc/interrupts` please? jubile33, can you please confirm that you have the same symptoms? There are many possible causes for "no sound", and if one is slightly different, you have a different bug. Is your card an ALI15X3? Do you get the same dmesg error? ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: alsa-driver => linux-source-2.6.15 -- No sound after initial install https://launchpad.net/bugs/82986 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
