I had this error once with Ubuntu, and wound up having to reinstall. Try

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
in a terminal.

You might try reloading the alsa modules. Run these one at a time from a terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src

Code: Select all

sudo module-assistant update

Code: Select all

sudo module-assistant prepare

Code: Select all

sudo module-assistant auto-install alsa
You will have to reboot to check. Did you update the kernel? What's the output of

Code: Select all

uname -r
from a terminal. If you have updated the kernel, then it might be possible to boot using an older kernel at the grub menu and your sound might work.

I've had the same problem with sound and followed your advice in the previous post and inthis one. On the 4th command I received this message:
"Build of the package alsa-source failed! How do you wish to │
│ proceed?"

My options are to "VIEW Examine the build log file"
"CONTINUE Skip and continue with the next operation"
"STOP Stop processing the build commands"

Which one should I pick, I'm going to pickview in about 30 minutes. Can anyone out there help me?
