On installing Dapper Flight 6, in order to get sound from my PC speakers on a Sony Vaio TX650P, I must open gnome-volume-manager, enter 'File'->'Change Device'->'Realtek ALC260 (OSS Mixer)' and increase the Volume slider which is set at minimum. Prior to this, no sound can be heard.
Also, the volume applet defaults to Headphone, but the pc speaker volume is controlled by PCM. This issue is much less important than setting the volume correctly, IMO. The device is the HDA/RealTek. -- Sound is muted by default on Vaio FS115 with HDA/RealTek https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30014 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
