After quite a bit of searching, I have finally found that this "bug" is due to a missing driver. The sound card (and incidentally the modem) do not have drivers in the Linux kernel. It is actually misidentified during the install as an SB450, when in fact the chip set is North Bridge: ATI RC415MD, South Bridge: SB460. I have checked with ATI, and the chip set is a Gateway proprietary chipset, for which ATI cannot give specs. I have not yet contacted Gateway about this. Unfortunately, this chipset is tied very closely to the release of Windows Vista, and their initial reaction is "we don't support anything but the operating system the laptop shipped with." It is likely that a driver will have to be hacked together for this one.
I am willing to allow someone to remote desktop into my computer if they want to poke around, though I will need help setting up Linux to allow this. -- [feisty] no sound with gateway 3705 with an SB450 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
