Hi, I'm Ant and have a drug problem!

Not sure how similar your DV7-2030EA is to the DV7-2030ER but there is
some info here for the DV7-2030ER and it has some details on the sound
config.

Luckily for you it's based on Ubuntu 9.04, which I reckon you should
stick with for the time being if you've been thinking about trying 9.10.

P.S. I don't have a drug problem but like the group-therapy approach of
introducing yourself and your problems :)
