Ubuntu sound problem
Can't get the sound to work on Ubuntu, I tried everything I know, pls help me!!! After install Ubuntu I can't listen anything.
I changed the options in "Sound Preferences" (without understanding what I was doing) and then I realized I had the pc speaker out in "Volume Control". I changed this but I still can't listen nothing.
I did this

but only step 1 and 6 (alsamixer)
I have a labtop ASUS X52S and I received this feedback

Ok here what you need to do, when you start your pc or laptop, you need to press the escape button (ESC) it might be the delete button depending on how old is you pc or laptop, and change the KERNEL to the previous version, as it seem that one of the latest kernel i cannot remember if it is the 2.24.18 ? as a bug about the sound. so what i did was to reverse to the previous KERNEL.
So do it and enjoy
PS: please keep in mind that any spcifique setting like your "preload" or "prelink" or the tweak of your profile "preload" will be lost so you will have to do it again.
Hope this answer your trouble.
