Hey all,
A friend of mine has a Dell 2400 that was off the net for about 3 months. So I run the updates and now I have no sound. It worked before and I am at a loss as to what to look at next. I have checked
alsamixer: nothing mutted
System sound: not mutted
Even restarted the sound in terminal still nothing
Restart of the OS does nothing either.
Out put of lspci -v is:
Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0160
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
I/O ports at ee00
I/O ports at edc0
Memory at feb7fa00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Memory at feb7f900 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities:
Can someone help me with the next step to trouble shot.
Thanks,
James

You might try resetting the default card. Sometimes a kernel update can mess with the modules. Open a terminal and run

Re: No Sound, Daryna
OK tried that and it told me "no such command" or something to that effect. Next?
Also, I know it's me being stupid. But my laptop has been running with zero issues so I can't seem to remember things like I did when I first installed. When she minamizes a window it drops behind her task bar. If we hit ALT+Tab we can pull them back up. But she wants it back to where she can see them in her task bar. I have looked in the Control Panel and looked under the things that I thought would apply to the desktop but like I said just being stupid I guess. How do I fix that as well?
