no sound from pulse audio after upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04

Managed to reboot 7.10 ubuntu which allowed me to pick another kernel of 8.04 on start only 22 has no sound

Start your pc from not sound working kernel

Please be sure all needed kernel modules are installed to make this check and install them:
So open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then reboot your pc.

Thanks Marco,
Did that but still no sound on that kernel,when I reloaded 7.10 it then gave me a list of the kernels on startup.
The kernel 8.04 2.6.24-24 still has no sound.
                          2.6.22-16 has sound
                          2.6.22-15 has sound
                          2.6.22-14 has sound
Remember I have come a long way from no sound for 6-8 weeks

   Check that. Your laptop may have a keyboard control to mute, increase and decrease sound.

sudo adduser $(who am i | cut -d" " -f 1) audio
sudo chmod 660 /dev/snd/*

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

if more than one sound cards is detected by your system to set the default soundcard

Please try first my previous answer https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/51862 it is a solved question for Ubuntu 8.10, might be it solve with your Ubuntu 8.04

I previous answer doesn't solve, then i think if you upgrade your Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 8.10 you will get a working sound system.

Hth

Now upgraded to 8.10 computer is crashing and going back to login screen
after 5 to 10 minutes what is this
Jun 14 00:40:32 dell-desktop pulseaudio[6222]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to
