RE: My sound card is HDA VIA VT82xx and chip is Realtek ALC660-VD. I can hear sound in win xp, but I can't hear any sound in ubuntu 7.04. What version of alsa driver supports this sound card and how shall I install the driver? Waiting for your help. Nitin, The instructions specific to snd-hda-intel update are below. But first you have to complete generic support for compiling, as I described earlier.
