Dear all, today I made the biggest mistake of my life I think, I upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10. Everything is working almost fine, but the audio is gone. If I try to boot from the CD, there's no problem, but when I get back to the actual system, there's no sound. The card is recognized: marco@marco-x41:~$ lspci | grep audio 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) !!Soundcards recognised by ALSA !!----------------------------- 0 [ICH6 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH6 Intel ICH6 with AD1981B at irq 22 but not for playing audio: APLAY aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found... ARECORD arecord: device_list:223: no soundcards found... Also when I try starting Jack: Could not open ALSA sequencer as a client. ALSA MIDI patchbay will be not available. ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory and there are no sound cards to select. Any ideas?
