Farewell, Ubuntu

[George Borusiewich]

I have been receiving many suggestions about solving my sound problems 
with 8.04. Will try them all. I have a question. Under 7.10, I used to 
get 2 sounds at boot-up - a "drum roll" when the log-in screen appears, 
and then 2-3 seconds of deep "African" drums right after the log-in 
screen. Under 8.04, I often hear the "drum roll" (sometimes silence) 
when the log-in screen appears, but I have never heard the second sound 
(deep African drums) right after the log-in screen. Under 8.04, am I 
supposed to hear the second sound too? Someone just suggested that I 
take out my Soundblaster sound card and just use the sound circuit on my 
motherboard. Perhaps I may have to do that. But why should my 
Soundblaster card work under 6.04, 6.10, 7.04, and 7.10 (right 
out-of-the-box, with no tweaking, fiddling, and twisting) and suddenly 
be defective under 8.04? George Borusiewich
