Sound doesn't work in Ubuntu 7.10
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Beta) on a Latitude D630. It's mostly running fine, however there is no sound. I realize I am using Beta software, but I've heard that previous versions of Ubuntu are having the same problem. I'm leaving the country in a few days and will often be without internet. I plan to use Ubuntu 7.10 Beta for now because most everything works without having to configure anything save the sound. Does anyone have any advice on how I could troubleshoot the sound so that Ubuntu recognizes the sound card? Thanks!

asoundconf list
This will list all your sound card options, including on-board sound. Write down the name of the sound card you want to use exactly as it appears (providing you have more than one in that list). Then type this, replacing CARD with the name of the card you want to use, and press Enter:
asoundconf set-default-card CARD
If you have SoundBlaster Live, the list will show "Live". So you would enter "asoundconf set-default-card Live". Your sound care will be set. Restart your system so that it enables it for you. Have a great trip!
