My sound has disappeared on my Ubuntu Lucid machine. It was there yesterday. I think we took a power cycle overnight and so my pc had rebooted this morning. After compiling PJSUA (the pjsip commandline sip client) and installing it, I tried to run it. No sound.
$ lsmod | grep snd
no output.
$ alsamixer
No such file or directory,
Just because you need to know, I tried innstalling oss on this machine. Did n't get it working and TTHOUGHT i'd remove it. But some parts are still there.
I have googled for hours and have tried a dozen fixes. None have worked.
$ sudo lshw

and probably others I've forgotten.
Root also does not see the soundcards. Of course this is Ubuntu so I can't just login from scratch as root.
I read a suggestion that I might have accidentally blacklisted the snd modules, but I'm not sure which blacklist that'd be in and how to un-blacklist them.
Any help? Anyone?
modprobe snd-hda-intel
