Ok, that was helpful, but confuseing. When I brought up the alsamixer control in terminal. It was set to "default." I selected my Intel sound card. I then made sure that nothing was muted, but found that what made the difference was when I raised the volume and made sure my headphone jack ...

Have you looked at volume and mute settings with pavucontrol? Also look into alsamixer. In the latter, you may need to type F6 and select the proper hardware for all the volume sliders to appear. Pavucontrol is set to 100% and not muted. I have no program called alsamixe r when I search in the Dash.

Probably same deal as vlcrc. Zap your pulseaudio config files. sudo killall pulseaudio rm -r ~/.pulse* rm -r ~/.config/pulse/* then reboot. That did nothing. I may not have entered the commands correctly, I did them both line by line and all at once. What did work was: alsactl restore I get this er...

Code: Select all

mv ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc.bak

BINGO!

Now, IF I can just get the sound working, I will have a winner!

VLC, but it was also doing it with Gxine and "videos." Videos and Gxine seem to have corrected themselves. It also plays DVD upside down.

OK, I do not see a lot of interest in Ubuntu 16.4 LTS, and that is cool, but as a final warning of how buggy this release is, all of my videos stored on my computer, or DVD's, now play upside down ! I still have no sound, and can not believe the hype I am hearing about, "best Ubuntu release, ev...

What? Who? Did someone mention me? LoL! ;) OK, it is official, there is "some" sound, but it is so low, you can barely hear it. So, that means that my sound card is detected, but that the driver is not correct for some reason, I think... I also tried it with my Bluetooth headset, and ther...

Did you mute the sound in Windows? ....1. As Shawn said if it's muted in W7 the mobo remembers.....and it will be muted in Linux. (or vice versa) 2. In the last two years something has changed....still looking for a blacklist entry. I suspect Ubuntu upgrades. My Windows rocks, as did my previous ve...

Just as an update on the sound problem... I went to Terminal and ran: aplay -l and got back: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 ...
