Good evening,
The other night my sound mysteriously stopped working. Although it
never quite worked right in the first place. I run ubuntu 8.10 amd64,
and ever since install I have not been able to get anything but a
relatively low volume from my speakers (they worked fine before I wiped
vista).
Today, I manually installed the latest stable release of alsa (1.0.19)
and added it to the kernel. Hooray! I have sound back; however, I have
returned to the initial problem of relatively low volume. First:
yes the volume is turned up on the speakers
yes alsa-mixer is turned up on all channels
I have a nvidia nforce 430. According to the hp website the sound
chipset is ALC 888S
but

Could this be the problem? If so, how would I address it? Any
suggestions would be great.
