Welcome to the new Linux Foundation Forum!
sound question
in Ubuntu
I know this has probably been asked 100x before, I'm sorry.
I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu, and i really like it. It would be my main OS but, i cannot get the sound to work! The video's play back perfectly, just no sound. I do have a sound card (Creative X-Fi Xtreme gamer) I would like to use it, but i really don't care if i have to go back and use my on-board sound. Can somebody please give me a very basic walk-through on how to get this to work?! I'm desperate, I will mail you $1 if you can help!!
I think this is the right forum to post this question, if not, soooorry.
THANKS!

It sounds like your system may be having a conflict trying to figure out which sound card to use. I don't know if ALSA is used in ubuntu 9.10, but you can try to run alsaconf in a terminal to tell the system which sound device to use.
edit:
i didn't see it in the ubuntu section, so i went ahead and started a new thread. So you can delete this thread.
Now, i don't have video! anywho, I'm gonna try and figure this out...if you have any pointers just shoot em at me.
i know this isn't my blog...
I now have sound AND video.
So the video was not being displayed in a specific application, I was thinking you were saying that the problem was that no video was coming from ubuntu.
When explaining issues please explain exactly which components/applications are effected by the specific problem.
