It seems that I have same problem here. It's Dell Optiplex GX620 + fresh 13.10 install.
I have only 2 output ports in pulseaudio ports: analog-output-headphones;output-amplifier-on: Słuchawki / Amplituner (priority 9010, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-headphones" analog-output-headphones;output-amplifier-off: Słuchawki / Brak amplitunera (priority 9000, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown) properties: device.icon_name = "audio-headphones" So I cannot get any output from motherboard ports (headphone port is also too loud as somebody mentioned). My alsa-info is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e1ab95695370eaa14f1c47947e1a2a0a3232d2f0 (there's also nvidia card with intel-hd hdmi stuff inside) Please tell me if I can provide any additional useful info to fix this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893210 Title: [Dell OptiPlex GX620 - AD1981b, playback] No sound at all Status in ALSA driver: Confirmed Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: fresh install of ubuntu studio and updates but internal speakers do not play. dell optiplex gx620 love ya ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: alsa-base 1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-13.22-generic 3.0.6 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic i686 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
