No sound after clean install
- by John Cheednik
Did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 and everything working great except for the sound.
Ubuntu doesn't even seem to be recognizing the fact my HP dv6000 has the capability of making sound!
I have the dummy output problem, and when I try to open alsamixer using terminal I get the message that no such file or directory exists. I can't get it to recognize any soundcards or audio devices at all.
I've been working on the problem for a couple days now and have even taken the laptop apart to ensure that all cables are properly attached...
When I go into the PhoenixBIOS there are no sound options that I can find. The laptop does make a loud beep if I press buttons in the BIOS, but once it boots to the hard drive, the thing is mute. HELP!
