Ultimate Edition Forum

Hi...i'm a new fan of Ultimate Edition....just installed Ultimate Edition 2.9 recently....very pleased with it...but my laptop don't have any sound at all.....could anyone help me with this?....i'm using compaq presario v3614au notebook.

Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 1.9
Memory: 2 gb
chipset:NVidia MCP67M (Nvidia 630i/GeForce 7150M)
sound:Conexant High Definition Audio (integrated)

appreciate your kind help.

add :
when i click on sound preferences...there is no device detected...only dummy ouput

This is a case of missing firmware / appropriate kernel support.

Simple fix really.

Pick a distro that works.

I would recommend Ultimate Edition 2.6.3 next.

Based on LTS (long term support)

suspect it will support that laptop better.

guest i can't use the latest distro then......need to download mentioned distro and report back later.....thankx for the reply and advice

After patiently waiting for a few days to download the said distro as suggested by pclinuxguru....now my notebook is running Ultimate Edition 2.6.3......but still there is no sound. There is only dummy output in sound properties.....
I only read comments from backwolf after installing 2.6.3. sooo i don't know if the suggested solutions is for my current distro....i tried

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

...but there nothing in the file

i tried...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mocchi/instruments ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install alsa-driver

...but it returns cannot find alsa packages....


anybody please help me to troubleshoot this sound issues......TQ....
