sound lost completely - again

weird... this morning i get an update notice... I run the
update.  I
also cleaned up some desktop junk, and did a reboot of the
box.  No
sound anywhere... this isn't the first time it's happened,
and I'm
wondering what is going on with Dapper and Edgy that every
third update
turns off all sound.

no problems here .. maybe it's something with your specific
card.
perhaps you should malone it.

Im on 6.06LTS and I noticed that too for a while. But then
it stopped
doing that. (That being the sound turning off.) I dont know
why but it
did. I noticed that it worked again after a very large
update. Much of
had something in it that did the trick.

I just got a call from my local public service telephone
company whom is
my ISP for my dial up connection. Turns out they are going
to be
offering DSl in the next couple of weeks. The lady on the
line ask if I
wanted to get DSL and I said heck yes (I pay 21.95 for dial
up and DSL
is 39.95) 

She ask what which version of windows do I have and I told
her I did not
have window, but linux. There was this silence on the other
end of the
phone for a bit, then she ask: Is the like an Apple
computer? I guess
she had never heard of linux! Well I do live way out in the
country.

So anyway a couple of weeks from now I will go down and pick
up my dsl
modem. I have already google about dsl set up as I wanted
know any thing
I ask before I go down. Looks Like I need to ask if I have
to use a
specific IP address. 

Is there anything other configuration questions  I should
ask when I go
down to pick up my dsl modem?

Thanks

Hey guys, thought I'd chime in.  I'm new to the Ubuntu
world, but have
been in the Linux realm since 1996.  

I can't think of anything you should ask.  If its anything
like a cable
modem you should be able to just obtain your IP address
automatically
via DHCP.

The IP address for you modem.  It will usually be something
like
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 - this will be needed to access
the web
interface for configuring your modem, as clearly you won't
be using
the Windows-only (and usually supremely bad) software
interface for
it.  Beyond that you just visit http://that.IP after plugging
into
your modem and poke around.

unfortunately most DSL's in Canada at least run PPPoE, I
assume the
same might be true elsewhere as well, in which case you'll
need to
install the PPPoE drivers and configure it

I manage my PPPoE through my router (so other machines can
all use the
same DSL line), no need for Linux to be set up, but I assume
that the
forum will have how-to's galore on the problem.

Well, not wanting to wait for the next tsunami sized update,
any ideas
as to how I can get sound to come back?

Hi
During my year in China I had 2mbit DSL and I connected
using the 
provided modem.
The thing is, does the modem have an ethernet connection or
USB. If it 
uses USB only then you'll probably have a hard time getting
it to work 
in Linux. If you can connect the modem to your network card
then all you 
have to do in linux is: sudo pppoeconf
and the rest is easy!

Back in the UK I joined Tiscali, they gave me some
piece-of-sh** USB 
modem, I didn't even try to give myself a headache setting
it up, got a 
wireless router instead :P

My apologies to all for top posting.

Most providers that use PPPoE now provide modems that are
also
routers. You set up the modem through a web interface and
don't have
to configure anything in the computer anymore.

What happens is that you connect the (A)DSL modem to the
phone line.
Then you connect the computer to the modem, open up your web
browser
and try to access any website. The modem should serve up a
configuration page where you enter your ADSL username and
password.
Some modems may require you to access a specific address
(e.g.
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.255) to get that configuration
screen.

Eric.
