Version: 1.4.3 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.4) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-11-generic I tried one music CD in Amarok, and it played its music. Then I updated from Kubuntu 6.10 to 7.4. In feisty, Amarok didn't build a collection from a CD where I had backed up part of my music collection; it got to about 52% and hung in there forever. It didn't play a music CD either (and, by the way, it wouldn't download anything from Adept manager either). I reinstalled 6.10 from a live CD (my first Ubuntu with a K), wiping out 7.4. Back in edgy, Amarok gets hung up building a collection (asking me to wait patiently), and even when I shut it off and restart it, it's still hung up. It doesn't play audio CDs {system says it cannot read CDs} either, and neither do KsCD nor Caffeine. I checked Sound, and it's enabled as are the settings in KMix. Your help will be appreciated; I had high hopes for Ubuntu and switched from Mandriva. Pedro

Re subject bug, lack of sound, I was out of town for about a month and when I came back, your web site shows the bug RESOLVED; I still have no sound. I went to UBUNTU documentation, sound troubleshooting. Following their instructions, I found out that snd-emu10k1x for my Dell Soundblaster Live Value wasn't installed (instead Kinfocenter shows sound: 3.8.1a-980706); Kubuntu 6.10 from which I updated did have it and the sound was OK. I tried to install emu10k1x using Alsa-source; module-assistance wasn't found; I had to downloaded it, along with alsa-source, going to system-adept manager; the shell command still did not find module-assistance even when I copied it to the same directory I was issuing the command, so I couldn't use it. Using dpkg reconfigure alsa-source I was finally able to install emu10k1x. lspci shows the card; see the first blocks in the attached file. However, I cannot load it with modprobe because as you will see in the attached file, modprobe calls for /sound/c ore...and it should be /sound/acore (Acore) where the needed files are. Also please notice that at the end there is an Error inserting snd_ac97_codec; in Konqueror, I do see sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko, codec.ko being a binary file; how can the error be corrected? Please check, as it is this SB Live is troublesome, and advise me what to do. -- Saludos, Pedro
The snd-emu10k1x chipset is one of the most stable and well supported chipsets under linux. Many of our developers use them. Speak to the ubuntu team, this is their problem not ours.
