Sound in Ubuntu 9.04

[Mimic 3307]

I'm been having problems with the sound in ubuntu, At first I could hear nothing at all (no vent sounds / youtube etc), I fixed it by adding:

options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo-101e position_fix=1

into "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base"

Now, however, my problem is that I cannot hear any sound through my Sound Jack headphones. I've tried muting the Master Channel (along with every other combination of channels).

Also, when I try to turn my headset up by typing "alsamixer" it won't go up.

Halp?

I had this problem once with ubuntu 8.04 LTS

I just enabled all repositories, and downloaded a shit load of updates, went to 6.26 or .25 kernel( i forget) and it was gone.

When I'm logged in as root, and added myself (jacob) (adduser jacob audio) to the audio group, and I log in as jacob and type "groups" audio doesn't appear.

It didn't help when I tried sudo groupadd audio then adding myself to the group.

The id output after doing this is:

jacob@ubuntu:~$ id

uid=1000(jacob) gid=1000(jacob) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),106(lpadmin),121(admin),122(sambashare),1000(jacob)

Edit: It may take awhile to respond to some of your answers, Crothers, because I still like to play CS:S when booted on Windows Vista.

Alright, thanks.

Also, fixed.

Also, I'm surprised I'm doing everything right, considering you haven't said anything against it
