Ideas, anyone? How should I proceed?

Cybe,

This happened to me as well. I installed 8.10 RC on my five-year-old
Toshiba Satellite 1905-S303 laptop. I use qamix for a sound mixer, and
when I opened it, I found that during the course of the upgrade, all
volume settings were reset to zero and to mute. Once I corrected
those, my sound was back in business. I'm using Xubuntu, so I don't
know how your control-center stuff is organized. Your mileage, as
they say, may vary.

With best regards,

Pete

Thanks, Pete.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the problem here. All settings
are as they should be, nothing muted. I've tried alsa, oss and
pulseaudio settings on everything, set all to auto-detect, tried all
permutations of each of these and still, nothing.

Good evening Mr Wizard. I havn't gotten around to downloading Intrepid yet (on
dialup say no more), but HH didn't have pulseaudio installed as default, and
that could be the fly in the ointment. It may be worth temporarily disabling
it with an apt-get remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, which will mean that your
sound apps now access Alsa directly. I'm presuming that Intrepid has
Pulseaudio installed as default.

Can you post a bit of output from the following, just to see if the card is
detected, etc.

cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/version
lspci -v (just the bit for the soundcard)
lsmod | grep snd

Nigel.
