Ubuntu 7.10 audio

Today I have the new Ubuntu 7.10 on a DELL Latitude installed. This was almost perfect. Only the sound did not work. The onboard sound card is the Intel 82801H HD Audio Controller. For this to work go to "System", "Management" and choose "Synaptic package management". Search on "Linux-backports module" install it (Synaptec then automatically packages which still must be installed). The only thing you have to do is restart the laptop and you will hear the startup sound.

Good luck!
