I just set up ubuntu totally replacing my only version of xp and my fucking sound wont work
Well long story short this is fucking gay and I need help if anyone has a solution or had a similar problem with any linux based OS's let me know. I already downloaded the kernel package agian from www.alsa-project.org and shit still doesnt work.
other than that this OS rocks so I would like to continue to use it if possible.

What sound card? Is it the new Ubuntu? The new Ubuntu should have no problem detecting your sound card.

You have an SB Live X-Fi? That's the only common sound card I know of which isn't supported by Ubuntu out of the box. Try http://ccftp.creative.com/manualdn/Drivers/AVP/10530/0xE84AB36F/XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18.tar.gz, then after extracting it sudo ./installer

ya I have a creative audigy and I am not sure my specific model is supported in fact I couldent match the model number with the supported model numbers, but I'll keep fucking with it. If it isnt supported I will have to go buy another sound card because I refuse to return to windows.
BTW I have no clue how to use linux, lol but I have to learn sooner or later because I am sick of windows and cant afford a mac.

It's just ubuntu edgy with extras. Hardly a "distro".
At any rate, OP, is your user in the sound group? Type 'groups' at a command prompt to find out. Also, if you run alsa-conf it will detect and configure your sound card for you.

Ubuntu is better if you are familiar with Linux. If you aren't then you are going to have a field day with it. Ubuntu detects, and utilizes basically every piece of hardware that you can imagine...BUT if you don't know how to use a linux based system from the command line then you're fucked, and run into an incompatible piece of hardware...Ballgame. You're fucked.

When asking questions about Linux, a specific, detailed description of the problem is absolutely necessary.
Here's the small amount of info I can provide with what I know now.
sudo lsmod will show what modules are loaded. sudo lspci will show info about your sound card and other hardware on the motherboard. sudo modprobe emu10k1 will attempt to load a SB Audigy driver. alsamixer will bring up a mixer so you can make sure your channels aren't muted. If you install an alsa driver yourself, it will be muted by default.

Lol. Once you master linux you will understand how the computer works 100000 times better. I suggest everyone do it. It makes you think, and once you learn it you will never ever go back to windows.

Please, either if you are a user or a developer, stop using ALSA and switch to OSS v4.
ALSA: Spaghetti coded. Virtually no documentation. Single platform.
http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2007/05/sorry-state-of-sound-in-linux.html a bit outdated (since OSS v4 is open source multilicensed GPL/BSD/CDDL) but describes the situation pretty well.

The new ubuntu has a package installer that can use windows inf drivers. If you need the name I'll be glad to get it for you. It should install that sound card you are having trouble with.
