Hello,
I have purchased a compaq cq40-133tu laptop and I have successfully installed windows vista ultimate in it. I also want to install ubuntu linux in it. Ive installed ubuntu 8.04 in it, but my sound card is not working. Please solve my problem. If youve found out the solution, please mail me to : kannugo@gmail.com
I know how to install the ubuntu os. Ive installed it as a guest operating system in windows vista. The only problem is that the sound card of my laptop is not working well with this os. How could I check which kernel of linux would support my sound card.
Name of sound card is IDT.(and I currently dont have an internet connection)
1. copy-paste the following command into the Terminal:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
2. and add these lines to the end of the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file:
# Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
3. Then navigate to System>Preferences>Sound and change everything to ALSA
4. copy-paste the following command into the Terminal:
gksudo gedit /etc/group
5. replace the following line (or something very similar to it):
