Hi Arun,

I have Dell inspiron 1520. I have seen that you are facing some problem. I too was facing similar problems with these two, but fortunately could solve them. I am not sure you still need the solution. Anyways, here it is,

* Webcam is not yet detected.

My webcam was not detected by Camorama Webcam Viewer, so I tried Cheese Webcam Booth and it worked without any problem. Use it directly from add and remove applicaitons.

* Sound is very very low.

I have tried ALSA drivers for my sound card and from the Sound setting under System –> Preferences –> Sounds I am using OSS rather then ALSA. The sound did increase considerably and I am happy with the sound it is giving now, as compare to earlier that was very feeble.

Hope it helps.

Try Kubuntu, it is even more better than Ubuntu with more apps and fun and eye candy…

Hi Kiran,
Yes you can install windows applications in linux using Wine. Checkout the compatibility list here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&sTitle=Browse%20Applications&sOrderBy=appName&bAscending=true
