<p class=MsoNormal>I’m Paul and I’m a Windows user! :P<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been dabbling with Linux for a while now, and have
settled on Ubuntu, however, I’ve been battling with an issue for a good number
of weeks now. The issue is that I can’t seem to get any sound output in
Ubuntu. The type of laptop is an HP Pavilion DV7 2030EA and from what I
read, Ubuntu really doesn’t like the HP range. <span style='font-family:Wingdings'>L</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried to use ndiswrapper, backports, and had a good
read of the ubuntu forums and can’t seem to get it sorted which is a shame as
if I could get sound output then I’d really have no need to use Windows, or use
it less!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can
try next as I’m pretty much at a loss now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
