Ok. I have all rows upon rows of sound drivers.

I went through all the commands with success.

But I think that this page is for those who have NO sound. I do have 
sound. Actually I had sound for two straight hours while watching tv 
online today and then after lunch, I had no sound again.

Actually, Im starting to think this whole 8.04 is too buggy for me right 
now. It works perfectly well on lots of peoples machines and then on 
others - its totally flaky. My old dell laptop - it seems to be rock 
solid but my newer desktop - I have so many problems its crazy.

Really what I might do (if I can get the time and patience to do it) is 
backup all my stuff (again), download 8.04 and burn a new disk and do 
another new install. I just seem to have too many problems - 
intermittent  sound just being one.
