hello my name is kevin i've been an avid slackware user for over 2 yrs and always was able to google and fix my problems, but recently my brother bought a new computer and because there were free ubuntu cdroms available at the shop where he bought his gear, he grabbed a cd and tried it;

it was weird not having a fully su at first; but thats not why i'm posting this shit
he has 1 pci soundcard installed and another on board but neither one of them gives him sound this is his

Now from my experience when a module shows usage thats higher then 0; its green flag for me aka it 'should' work

Another issue: he is unable to mount samba shares directly in his filesystem with slack this works out of the box, the module smbfs is present but i dont know if the standard ubuntu 5.10 (64bit) kernel allows this as i can remember u have to enable 2 options; if this isnt the case will apt-get will allow me to fetch the kernel sources so i can just make a new kernel with this option enabled or when this is done i should also have to recompile mount utility to enable samba????


help would be appreciated

I would suspect the default Ubuntu setup is not loading (or not loading the
proper) nVidia drivers for the nForce chipset on that motherboard. Try
downloading the nForce drivers from nvidia.com or seeing if there are Ubuntu
packages available for the nForce drivers and using the nvsound module for
sound. You may want to search on some variation of "ubuntu nforce" to see if
there are any distro specific caveats to using an nForce based motherboard
with that distro.

you might want to update the " pci.ids " file to fill in
the " unknown " devices.
get the latest with : " wget http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids "
and move that file to " /usr/share/pci.ids "

"lspci" will probably give better answers after that.

Here is my "lsmod" for the "onboard sound":

snd_intel8x0 30464 1

snd_ac97_codec 86216 1 snd_intel8x0

snd_pcm 80716 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec

snd_timer 20808 1 snd_pcm

snd 42288 6
snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore 8032 1 snd

snd_page_alloc 9424 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

Using it the last year like that, no my system is not "ubuntu" , but
for the "sound" driver
from the kernel that is irrevelent, for the "PCI card" i never used
one of those, no idea.

Happy hacking.
