Paste the output of lspci and lsmod
Also run alsaconf, see if it can detect your sound card.
And if possible do update your system from time to time, especially after you get your plan changed.

Here is the output of lspci n lsmod

nitish@Nitish:~$ sudo alsaconf
Password:
sudo: alsaconf: command not found

 

[mehulved]

Ah! I forgot ubuntu doesn't use alsaconf anymore.
Anyways check *help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
I beleive you have half upgraded to hardy thus the sound modules may not have been upgraded. Try the above link and see if it solves the problem.

 

[nitish_mythology]

nitish@Nitish:~$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
nitish@Nitish:~$
nitish@Nitish:~$ sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
nitish@Nitish:~$

I tried even this find /lib/modules/`uname -r'

It showed a list of stuff tht was quite huge so i didnt post it... on issuing the next part of command the terminal got sort of stuck... I couldnt see nitish@Nitish:~$ again! It was just wrking!

On issuring aplay -l
it says no sound card found!

 

[mehulved]

Well lspci detects your sound card fine. Problem is with modules probably because you are halfway between gutsy and hardy, would be my guess.

 

[gary4gar]

IMO, download a alternate install CD from somewhere.
and Upgrade

 

[praka123]

@nitish:for sound:
as you are travelling parallel between gutsy and hardy,now you have to get everything manually from hardy repo
So,now get this:
*mirror.lupaworld.com/ubuntu/pool/m...dules-2.6.24-16-generic_2.6.24-16.23_i386.deb

it is around 4.4MB !
then install manually as usual
It will hopefully fix sound issue.

 

[nitish_mythology]

Thanks praka123, It worked! Cheers Again!
Now Listening to Zara Si Dil Mein De Jagah.... from Jannat!

Well my internet conn starts wthout me having to issue pon - dsl provier!
How to get around this?? Wll I have to do the sudo pppoeconf again..coz it asked me whether I would like to start the conn at next boot time!

UPDATE:
I downloaded all the necessary codecs fr tottem movie player..but now whn i play an avi file it just quits..It no longers complains fr missing plugins though! BUt dows so whn i played a .dat file!

Which soft shd i down now???? Pls recommend the smallest download!

 

[praka123]

@nitish:stop the upgrades now ,better satisfied by the current setup unless you have good BW remaining upgrade to hardy next month will help you

reg,internet connection starting on boot,it is because you selected that way while running "pppoeconf".

I dont know which option controls the boot time internet.
well,DONT RUN "pppoeconf" now.

check /etc/network/intefaces .post it here.will have a look.esp look for lines like "auto dsl-provider" or "auto ppp0" .post now

 

[nitish_mythology]

Ok.. I wll upgarde to hardy next month...
Here is the output of the file..

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth0

auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

 

[praka123]

@nitish:remove this line - "auto dsl-provider" from /etc/network/intefaces file.

you can edit as usual using run(alt+f2) enter "gksudo gedit /etc/network/intefaces"

remove "auto dsl-provider" .that's it.

Now,go to any of the gnome-panel,create shortcuts to these functions.
rest is explained here:

[nitish_mythology]

Edited the file..wll chk it up next time I boot!
UPDATE:
Its wrking...

 

[gary4gar]

Finally You setlled with Ubuntu at last

 

[nitish_mythology]

Yup I m settled...just the part of playing video formats is left...I dont care abt it much... Wll look for it next month!
Well I m thinking of requesting eagle_y2j of digit forum to downl hardy fr me if he can, coz he lives in a nearby city n I can get the distro frm him easily..
Otherwise wll have to wait the entire month..
