Let me preface this post by saying that this is my first experience using Linux, let alone Ubuntu, so please be gentle. /Total/ newbie here...
I installed a fresh copy of Ultimate 2.2 and everything went smoothly. However, so far as I can tell I have absolutely no sound. I've gone ahead and checked every volume knob, mute button, or other configurator that would otherwise limit sound output to no avail. I've also verified that my sound car is recognized, and drivers are installed. Strangely, I recall sound working while I was running the live CD?!?
I spent the past two days or so Googling what may be wrong with my sound, and every guide I've followed to restore sound has not fixed the issue. Part of this is my fault since I don't have a solid grasp of what's going on! From what I gathered from the procedures I followed, they basically had me installing the drivers for the Alsa Mixer and Pulse Audio? I'm not very comfortable using the terminal so I've more or less blindly followed others instructions.
So here I am with a fresh install; my first experience with Linux and I can't get the darn thing to output sound. Everything else works great, and I'm so excited to get this working so I can start exploring what this OS has to offer! Any help would be infinitely appreciated!!!
I'm using an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Mobo with SoundMAX ADI AD1988B integrated sound. If any other hardware specs are needed I'll be happy to fill in the blanks. Thanks for the help folks...
