My problem is all of a sudden I have no sound at all. I have checked
all my settings and they have not changed at all so I should have had
sound. There is none no matter what I have done. I need help
please.

What speakers are you using? If external, have you checked the
cables -- both sound and power? The power adapter? The AC cable?
The AC outlet?

Do you have any *.wav or *.mp3 files on your computer? If so, try
double-clicking on one. Hopefully, a music player app will open the
file and start playing it.
Alternatively, does your computer have a CD/DVD/BD drive? If so, insert
a music CD. Hopefully, a music player app will open and play the CD.
Or, you might get a chooser dialog asking what to do; try to find a
choice that plays the CD.
My guess is that some sound system feature got misconfigured, such as a
mixer setting. On Xfce, I have a panel with an icon that looks like a
speaker. If I left click on it, I get some mute buttons and sliders I
can adjust. If I right click and choose Properties, I get a tabbed
pop-up window with more settings. Looking in the menu (e.g. Start
button) -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, a tabbed app starts
with lots of settings. I expect Gnome has similar features. See what
you can find. Look for icons with an "X" on them, that might mean mute.
Click on them to turn muting off.
If the above ideas fail, do you know how to issue root commands in a
terminal?
