No Sound, Easy Peasy Annoyance

Easy Peasy, Ubuntu for Netbooks

Easy Peasy is an operating system based on Ubuntu, designed specially for netbooks. It has a wide range of support for netbooks devices and also pretty good support from the community. I have all my issues resolved before by following instructions from forums and wiki.

I’ve been a fan of Ubuntu Eee, the former Easy Peasy and have since used it as the primary OS on my EEE PC 701 until I was required to move to Windows XP. Since then, I can only use Ubuntu Eee LIVE installed on my SDHC. Eventhough, I regularly update my copy with the latest version. With the latest easy update support on Easy Peasy there’s no reason to not update right?

The LIVE install works perfectly fine for internet use and watching movies on my netbook. And now that I have another netbook which is now my primary ‘work-book’, I decided to install the Easy Peasy on my EEE PC 701. Everything was fine when I first installed it, but then after I rebooted, sound was gone.

I’ve tried modifying the sound configuration, I’ve used HDA Intel or ASLA but no good. Some also experience the same, others only experience this with Skype. There are a lot of solutions I’ve tried so far, but really can’t get it working again.

After 2 days work, I decided to revert back to Windows XP for the meantime until an update and easy fix for Easy Peasy is available.

I also heard this does not happen to everyone, so if you want to try the beautiful Easy Peasy, go ahead and download. Good luck!
