No Sound in 9.04

hey crunchbangers:

i just installed 9.04 and i lost all sound.
i had hardy installed on this machine last week and sound worked splendidly.  i think i wanna do this(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-bugs/2005-September/004426.html), but it's from 2005 and i don't know if i should try it.  i have the same setup as that poster, btw.  what do you think?

i found this, seems to be the same problem, but no solution yet:
http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8039738

$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:217: no soundcards found...

$ lspci -v
03:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01)
    Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 18
    I/O ports at 7400 [size=32]
    I/O ports at 7800 [size=128]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel modules: snd-ice1724

also, i think maybe i'll boot to a live ubuntu cd and see if sound works there...  if it does i'll see what the setup is.

Re: No Sound in 9.04

Looks like no driver is present, is that the built in sound device on your motherboard?

I have always used this thread in the past,

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449

but it is pretty old now, and I am not sure if #! is using alsa or pulse.

Re: No Sound in 9.04

i used the ubuntuforums thread, but i couldn't get it to work.

i stopped just short of compiling alsa because it used to work out of the box -- there's gotta be a way.

Re: No Sound in 9.04

ubuntu bug report... but i think it's an upstream problem, to be honest.  i'll see if i can file a bug report directly to alsa.
