Hi there, <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 12:44, <<a href="mailto:jarmenda@lavabit.com">jarmenda@lavabit.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello, I have an ongoing issue that hopefully someone can assist me with. I have Xubuntu 8.10 installed and everything seems to be working wonderfully ... except no sound at all. I do know that it recognizes my audio card correctly but still despite looking further into this I can't get any sound. I also do know that when I had Ubuntu 8.10 installed, with a few adjustments, I could get sound and everything was fine. That seems to indicate maybe a missing driver or application or something that I am missing. I'm currently at work so I'm not 100% sure what the name of the audio card (I believe Ensoniq something or other). If anyone has any good advice or could point me in the right direction I certainly would appreciate that. Thank you kindly. </blockquote></div> I'm sure we could work through some things with you, but for starters, have you looked through the sound trouble-shooting guide on the wiki? [1] That should get you started, and if it doesn't fix your problem, you'll at least have all of the information handy thatw e would have asked you about. Also, is the volume plugin installed in one of your panels? It should look like a small speaker. If it isn't, right-click on your panel, and select to install it. Your fix may be as easy as installing that panel applet, and changing the volume.
