How to fix the No Sound problem in Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)

You might have come across the ‘no sound’ problem after a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. Well, there are a couple of solutions around and this one worked for me :\ \ 1. Go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups\ \ \ \ 2. Click on ‘Unlock’ and enter password.\ 3. Next, go to ‘Manage Groups’.\ 4. Search for the groups ‘pulse’ and ‘pulse access’\ \ \ \ 5. For both of these, double click on them and add yourself to this group by checking on the check-box.\ \ \ 6. Hopefully, you are done !! Logout with ctrl+alt+backspace, and login again.
