I'm using an Inspiron 1420 laptop. The sound is an Intel chipset. lspci says:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) A while ago, perhaps during an upgrade, perhaps during a physical accident, I lost sound on my left speaker. This had happened before when for mysterious reason I managed to mute the left channel only. This time, though, I looked around in alsamixer, and it doesn't look like the left channel is muted. Furthermore, if I plug in the headphones, I do get sound in both channels. Is anyone else experiencing something similar? Please tell me that this isn't a hardware problem. :-( - Jordi G.
