Ubuntu default sound card - using a script

after I installed flash I got a huge sound bug, like it get stuck in a place tec tec tec... or sometimes it as no sound. It looks like a common problem as many forums were talking about the issue but nothing helped me. I got it to work once than it went bad again I am trying to install ubuntu again. It did work as I loged in a guest so it has to be related to my settings. if you have any idea...

Few comments:

First, this is horribly outdated and unneeded any longer. I will be doing an updated video using the GUI solution with PulseAudio here very soon.

Second, if you are pasting

asoundconf list

or

sudo asoundconf list

with ZERO soundcards coming up, you have something very wrong going on. The odds of not detecting your soundcard are next to nothing. I would recheck what you are typing.

Also, what sound card are you using? Is this a notebook - if so, which model/brand?

It wont let me do sudo asoundconf list
It show a blank list.

Thanks now I can use sound!

Just added the show notes to the "About video" part of this page.

I went to matthartley dot com. There was no link to linux fanatics. I cannot get the scripts.

You can copy from the terminal with ctrl+shift+c, and you can paste in the terminal with shift+insert :/

Who would rate this down? The information was very useful, thank you very much!

There are always people so stupid they rate low every video they didn't understand.. Hate them all
