The sound in my Ubuntu Linux is not working. I have a Compaq laptop. Any ideas how to repair it?
Have the sound worked before? If it have, you certainly should reinstall your OS
What's the version of your Ubuntu? The newest is 12.04 Precise Pangolin. It have the drivers for the most of sound cards

1. Have your sound worked before in any other platform like windows?
If yes,
2. Make sure the volume level in "Sound settings" is turned up and is not mute.
3. Then, we need to make sure whether or not Ubuntu is recognizing your sound card. For this, go to terminal and type
sudo aplay -l
The output should be something like this
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861VD Analog [ALC861VD Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861VD Analog [ALC861VD Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
If the output is like this
aplay: device_list:221: no soundcard found...
this means that the sound modules have not been installed correctly. In this case, you need to re-install ubuntu.
Hope this helped in resolving your problem.
Cheers!
