I have a problem with playing sound at present, I hear faint music
when watching a film out of the left ear [with earphones, my preferred
choice] and nothing out of the right ear. I've turned up all speakers
that I can find to their maximum, but with no appreciable gain.

The relevant part of ....... sudo lspci -v ........ shows :-

I had pulseaudio installed but removed it on the advice of a trusted
source on IRC, and am now using alsa. The problem occurred when we
were trying to debug a problem with playing mp4 films on VLC, my
preferred programme for playing and watching films.

I need to have sound fully working for Christmas so that my son can
watch and listen to his Christmas present. Can anyone help me out
please?

Thanks
Sharon.
