amjjawadhave you installed it? driver=snd_hda_intel17:46
xerox4100i dont know ow to install drivers17:47
xerox4100how*17:47
amjjawadxerox4100, so you didn't install it ... it was there by default17:47
xerox4100ya17:48
amjjawadOk17:48
LemonAidThis might get you no where but try starting banshee from the terminal and play a song, see if you get any error/warning. (for instance if you have a firefox and a 64 bit system  + flash plugin, you will spot a warning, only if you lunch it from the terminal)17:48
xerox4100could you give me a command to use lemonaid17:49
amjjawadhmmm, I'm not an expret in drivers but LemonAid's suggestion is good17:49
LemonAidctrl+alt+t = new terminal17:49
LemonAidand type banshee17:49
LemonAidIgnore the messages about the unmounted volumes.17:50
xerox4100no errors17:51
LemonAidHave you tried playing an .mp3 song ? Because you need some plugins. That might be the reason why the browser is playing sounds and banshee is not. Does not explain the game sounds missing though.17:54
LemonAidHowever you should have got a "you`re missing stuff" message.17:55
xerox4100ill download one17:57
LemonAidThe package is GStreamer , in case you haven`t.17:58
LemonAidtry this before you do that: "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" without the quotes17:58
xerox4100The program 'play' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:18:01
xerox4100sudo apt-get install sox18:01
LemonAidit`s "aplay"18:01
xerox4100Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono18:02
xerox4100still no sound18:03
LemonAidSo you did not hear a voice say " Front Center" ?18:03
xerox4100no18:04
LemonAidOk. That was the first step of the guide to troubleshooting your sound problems. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting, will take you trough the rest of the procedure.18:06
xerox4100thanks LemonAid ill run threw it18:08
LemonAidYour welcome.18:09
