Good morning:
I have a NEC Versa A2200 that I bought in Hong Kong in the summer of 2007.
I recently dorked-up the Windows XP operating system and decided to run Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, the sound does not work.
I've Googled the problem, visited the Ubuntu forums, but can't find an answer to my problem.�
It looks like ALSA does not support the sound card.
Can anyone on the list offer any help?
Now, exactly what kind of help? You tell us nothing about your system except
that is some unit purchased in Hong Kong and it used to run windows. I could
tell you to throw it away, but you would probably not find that helpful.
(NEC seems to have abandoned it already-- it is 4 years old)
If however you were to tell us what kind of soundcard it had-- run
lspci
For example on my system reports for the audio
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
we might have a chance of figuring out what you have and giving you advice.
Also show us what is in
/etc/modprode.conf or in one of the /etc/modprobe.d/* files which might have
something to do with audio.
Also if you run
alsamixer
in a terminal window, do you get anything? Are the sliders slid up if there is
something.
Finally, you could buy a usb sound card and use that instead. There are some
pretty cheap ones and most tend to work with linux usb sound driver.
