I've had a couple of problems with sound so I tried a ubuntu 11.04 from

Upgraded my current installation and neither sound nor wireless
function. Only joy is 'your hardware is not capable of running unity'.
Any clues on sound and wireless anyone?

Erm... off the top of my head, does it have an NVidia chipset by any chance?

I found that my Nettop (eMachines ER1401) doesn't get sound unless I install the NVidia video drivers (looks like it's something to do with HDMI audio, even if you're using optical out).

Whats the emoticon for an eye twitch?
It does have NVidia and the driver is installed (the xorg version 173.14.30) but what baffles me is the fact that sound works from a live cd! I may have loaded some other sound module thats killed it so I may have to load the live cd and get a pakcage list and compare later...
As for the wireless...
