Hi, all.

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 (a successful upgrade from 10.04 ->
11.04 -> 11.10 from within the distro itself) & I'm having real problems
getting any sound at all.

I don't know if the sound worked on 10.04 or 11.04 as I didn't hang
about long enough to find out; I just went straight to 11.10 as soon as
I could.

Using headphones I can hear audio static when playback (either from
audio CD or You Tube) is running as I can over the several sets of
speakers I've tried. I've installed all the ALSA stuff & Pulse too as
well as the restricted extras.

I've looked at this page:

<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure>

& steps one to seventeen & to be frank even step one looks a bit drastic
just to get to enable the sound if it indeed works after that.

I've made sure nothing is muted anywhere although it does smack of just
needing one click on something for my head to blown off on headphones.

My audio card is recognised:

`00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3012
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43
	Memory at e04c0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]

	Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
	Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
	Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
	Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel`

& the machine I'm running on is a HP dc7600U 2 x 2.8GHz Intels, 2 GB's
RAM in Ubuntu/Unity 32-bit.

Any help/advice would be gratefully received & appreciated.

Cheers,

  Phil...
