Re: OT, Ubuntu Sound Trouble

I'm glad you had an external sound card to use and I'm glad I offered you
that suggestion.
If you're not using the latest version of Ubuntu frimware is likely to be
old on that version and may not include firmware for your internal sound
chip.  If you're using the latest version of ubuntu and this computer
talked in the past with the internal sound chip, then you have a real
mystery on your hands.  Unless you had electrical damage inside that
computer and that internal sound chip got fried.
