Hi,

I have a GA-H87M-D3H motherboard.
Also I have Ubuntu 10.04.

In my dual-boot configuration, I can hear music in Windows 7 (after installing the drivers), but can't hear anything on the Ubuntu.

Some info:
Code:

I think that ALSA recognizes only one audio output, which is the digital audio output of my graphic card (HDMI)...

But I want to get the audio signal from the motherboard.

Any ideas what needs to be done?
I've searched google with many string combinations but couldn't find anything useful..

Thank you very much.

I don't understand... If you are on some mission critical system why would you try to manually install back ported drivers? Makes no sense...

In any case:

First try this package from ubuntu, you may need to enable backport repository!
Code: 
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-headers-lucid-generic
This installs backported drivers.

If this does not work you will need to compile ALSA-drivers from source.
You need to compile this package
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
*You will need to have kernel headers installed on your system*
Code: 
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
tar -xjvf alsa-driver-1.0.25.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.25
./configure
make
sudo make install
...

Indeed an upgrade is required, although it is preferred to upgrade to Ubuntu 12 rather than 13, because of some bugs that I've heard that exists in 13.

For now I prefer not to upgrade at all cuz I'm afraid that I won't do it properly and then all my data would get deleted.(despite having a backup)
Maybe soon I'll buy another HDD and then I'll install Ubuntu 12 and some other distros.

Still if anyone knows the answer to the problem please do help...

open a terminal
alsamixer
f6 to choose soundcard.

To install the new ubuntu without losing data just do a side by side install of Ubuntu and transfer the data to the new partition. You could then make the old partition a data one and then any future installs would never bother your data.

I've already used AlsaMixer but it doesn't recognize the sound output of the motherboard. See picture:

(Link to pic: http://s11.postimg.org/juq1ubksz/Alsa_Mixer.png )

I have thought of that but I don't want to neglect something that I don't currently remember, so I'd rather to postpone the upgrade until I'll have enough time to organize everything...

dor_13 stillblue has posted the solution already. Upgrade your OS.
Stop using brand new hardware on ancient depreciated OS; it is practically blasphemous!
10.04 is way too old to have drivers for your motherboard which is on the market for only a few months...

Or if you are brave you can try to find your audio driver on realtek website for 2.6 series kernel and manually install it.

skittle,

I know that I need to upgrade, but all I ask in this post is to have a solution for Ubuntu 10.04...
Saying "You need to upgrade" doesn't help since I already know that... The solution has to be with Ubuntu 10.04...

reboot.

Again you need to update, 10.04 is End Of Life (EOL) already... it won't be receiving critical updates updates anymore
