I got sound working. Don't know if it was an early version of script that broke it or if it's been broken in Ubuntu all along. Anyways, the problem was this: ramvi@ramvi-eee:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xf7eb8000 irq 5 As you can see the sound device is listed as 1, which is after 0. The fix?

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Change "options snd-usb-audio index=-2" (if that's the default. That's what it said on my machine) to "options snd-usb-audio index=1". Reboot, and tada, you've got sound!

I need confirmation from other users because I did not get that problem myself. Do you have any specific setup related to usb or your sound card?

by the way, cat /proc/asound/cards outputs the same thing on my eee (and I have sound)

I've got no sound either - it was working before I ran the script. Trying the fix mentioned above makes no difference. Playing an audio file results in the player failing silently.

Also, the wifi doesn't work until I disable and re-enable it with Fn-F2. Until that point, the computer is unaware the adaptor is there...
