so heres my problem, after installing linuxmint lxde on my netbook the microphone wasnt working
i followed the guide here

and now nothing audio related is working, when i open alsa mixer it is completly blank, i dont even have the little speaker icon in the corner anymore. I would like to get all audio working with the microphone but priority right now would be getting back to were i started
upon doing that modprobe command thingy the device does show up... also upon following that guide it made a folder in my home directory called soundtmp... and it wont let me delete it, how can i delete it? any help is greatly appreciated I really dont want to do a full reinstall

UPDATE: ok so i ended up caving and reinstalling linux mint lxde from scratch and i havre sound back. and alsa mixer is working, still no mic though. it shows as if i have to capture devices ive tried in skype and audacity but i cant get any sound, any ideas? ive considered trying to recompile the alsa drivers again but dont want to for fear of loosing all sound again

well ive been a linuxmint user for about 6 months and have about 3 installs amongst different computers in my household but. it became official today.... im going back to ubuntu... installed it and it worked perfect mic and all, didnt have to add wireless drivers either ... did it all for me. not to mention i got about 10 replies on the ubuntu forum before i got one one on here
