I've just taken the plunge and installed Kubuntu as my main desktop env but I can't get the sound to work, and was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to help me work out what the problem is.I don't even know where to start looking to be honest - I'm not a guru, so please be gentle.  I saw somewhere that I should supply the below info to give you some idea of what's going on, please comment if you need any more info.  Maybe worth noting that I've played about with all the settings in 'Playback Devices' and no combination produced any sound.  martyn@martyn-desktop-kubuntu:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel                                                                                                                                                                                                                      HDA Intel at 0xfb6f8000 irq 85                                                                                                                                                                                               1 [Q9000          ]: USB-Audio - QuickCam Pro 9000                                                                                                                                                                                                              Logitech, Inc.
