Audio not working

(1/2) > >>

akashyak:
I play sound / video using VLC media player, but unfortunately I cannot here any sound. It's audible in XP, but not in Ubuntu 6.10 (which is what I'm running.)

Kindly help. Thank you.

Ricky:
Well, is it intel based soundcard ??

Try this post :
Linux sound using Alsa for intel cards

akashyak:
Thank you.

I ran 'lspci | grep Audio' in my Terminal and got something like this :

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

This isn't precisely equal to the output you gave:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Can I proceed anyway?

Ricky:
ya its fine.. should do..

akashyak:
I've taken the driver, lib and util (ver. 1.0.14) from www.alsa-project.org. I've followed all your steps. But I produced the following at the end of executing the './configure........;make;make install' from the directory '/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.14'

WARNING!!! The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!!
**************************************************************************
You would use some ALSA or OSS mixer to set the appropriate volume.

And when doing './configure;make; make install' (all not together) from the third directory (alsa-utils-1.0.14), it said:

configure: error: this packages requires a curses library (error at the end of ./configure)

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop. (error at the end of make)

make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop. (error at the end of make install)

(Of course, I used 'sudo' before them all)

What can i do?
