Linux geeks please help before you finish taking over the world
I have a new laptop and have loaded linux. First I loaded unbuntu 8.04 and got things somewhat figured out then realized I had no sound. Apparently this is quite common and more so with my sound card. It's a Dell laptop and the card is realtek or that is the driver and the card is intel, bit confused on that.
Ubuntu loaded lots of updates but still no sound. One of the forums had someone with my config who loaded Fedora and got sound. I gave that a go and loaded F10. No sound. I've got an updated kernel now and updated the sound driver (I think) but no sound and not much coming on their forums to help.
I'm thinking I might have punted ubuntu too quick. It is still on my machine on it's own partition but I don't have the option to boot from it anymore. Can I force booting from the Ubuntu partition again? Anyone have help with the sound too that would be great but now I just want to boot again from ubuntu.
Thanks and now carry on the world domination.
