<br>
I have been trying to restore sound to my Ubuntu 9.10 system for months
now. I have reinstalled all Alsa drivers but have discovered that the
problem may be that I can't see the hardware device in System ->
Preferences -> Sound -> Hardware tab.<br>
<br>
I need to know how to reinstall the sound card to make sure I can see
the hardware device.<br>
