I am the least to give advice, and you help me all the time while I am in Jaunty, two steps after Hardy. I am having difficulty understanding why you haven't made the move? I would skip Intrepid, but Jaunty is rock solid. All the problems I seem to have are self created, because I don't know proper usage yet, but I remember and liked Hardy, but I so prefer Jaunty to Hardy or Intrepid.


I am not positive, but I believe Jaunty handles all sound installations automatically. You may have some choices, I have four, but the one that works is the one that I use. My sound is excellent, too.


Make a Live CD of Jaunty and see if that works. Then test the application a bit to see if you might like it. If you use Gnome for a Desktop, try the Traditional menu option in the widgets.


I had to make the change, due to my motherboard and excessive memory. They were not supported in earlier issues, however, I just love Jaunty. It only took a few days to get used to it, and I believe it is the direction Kubuntu will be taking itself anyway.


I have been where you are so many times, stressed to the maximum, where it gets confusing, you have tried so many things.


I faintly remember that there were a lot of changes between Hardy and Jaunty, but they made things easier, especially hardware installations. I wish I could help you for a change, my friend.


If you try the Live CD, just click on the Kmenu and open System Settings. If you open Multimedia, you should have at least one sound possibility to test. I have four, however only one works with my current setup. I have analog, digital, HDMI, and Pulse-Audio. I currently use Analog. In Jaunty, when you open Kmix, you have several selections that are automatically muted and some that are not with the high volume setting. I know you have considered the mute factor, but I don't remember what the Multimedia choices were like in Hardy. I may download a Live CD Hardy and see.


Relax a bit from the problem. I will try the little I know, and see if I can come up with something.
