Yes. It looks like sound card was detected and initialized, but Pulse Audio was unable to set it as "default" automatically. Have you tried to list and use available cards from alsa perspective (your device names may be different)? $ aplay -l | grep ALC card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog] $ aplay -L | grep CARD sysdefault:CARD=PCH front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 surround21:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 ... $ speaker-test -D front -t wav -c 2 If speaker-test works, but without actual sound from speakers, be sure to check if sound channels unmuted: $ alsamixer
