I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, and have had trouble being able to reduce the volume from 100%. Using the volume controls, the slider instantly snaps back to full if reduced.

Will I need additional drivers, and if so, where can I get them from? Please keep in mind that I am a total newbie to this OS.

You can always try to download the HD drivers from Reltek. You will have to convert the files from the .tar.gz file to a .deb file fro Ubuntu.

I am not sure how confident you are yet with command line but there are a couple of way to convert them. The first it to download a program called alien. To do this just type:
.
Then you can use it by typeing:
The second option is to use the "cd" command to change to the directory that you want to save the file to. The use this code to configure and install it.
This will install the program in the file and you will be all set.

I hope that I haven't confused you too much and have helped you with your sound.

Cheers!

The file I've recieved is a LinuxPkg_5.05.tar.bz2 file. Using the alien command tells me it cannot find the file. Have not tried the other method, not proficient enough in command line to understand it.
