Was that a live Ubuntu cd, or Ubuntu installed on the laptop. I ask because sometimes live cd's are better at setting things up, than installed distro's. Back to F8, which I've recently installed. F8 now has pulseaudio installed, and I've seen a lot of problems with it on the Fedora list. When I tried to play a cdrom, I got a permission denied, so removed a couple of pulseaudio packages that resolved the problem, as below. yum remove kde-settings-pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio Now that may not be your problem, but it's worth keeping in mind. I also have problems with my usb midi keyboard, which uses snd-usb-audio. More often than not when booting up snd-usb-audio is set as sound card 0, and the actual soundcard (especially if /etc/modprobe.conf lists it as card 0 , and indexed as 0) ends up not being loaded at all. Setting indexing options for the various cards resolves this problem. With that in mind, would you post the contents of /etc/modprobe.conf, and also the output of /sbin/lsusb. The output of cat /proc/asound/cards may be usefull as well , for when the sound is working , and not working. Will you download and run this script below. It provides a lot of info about the sound setup on your distro. You will have to make it executable before running it. It will send the output to pastebin. Paste the link to the pastebin file in your reply. http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/alsa/scripts/alsa-info.sh I'm not too clued up on a lot of Alsa problems, but try to offer suggestions where I can. All the best. Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
