This might help to turn on all sound outputs. If it works then you can
experiment from there.
- Run ‘pavucontrol’ in a terminal and it will open a window with five
tabs across the top.
Playback
Recording
Output Devices
Input Devices
Configuration
- Choose ‘Configuration’. Check for any devices with an ‘Off’ profile.
This may be okay, e.g. there's no connected device of that type, but
it's worth looking at the menu items to see if there are choices which
don't say ‘unavailable’ or ‘unplugged’.
- Choose ‘Output Devices’.
- Ensure ‘Show’ menu at the bottom has ‘All Output Devices’ selected.
- Ensure none of the listed devices are muted; none of the speakers
overlaid with an ‘×’ should have a sunken grey background.
- Edit the volume of all devices to about 30%. Some devices cut-off to
silence when below 20% or so. This will also check none are still
muted as the volume can only be edited on a non-muted device.
- Switch to ‘Playback’ tab.
- Set some audio playing in your normal way.
- Ensure ‘Show’ menu at the bottom has ‘All Streams’ selected.
- Ensure none of the listed streams are muted.
- Edit the volume of each stream to be 100%. This means 100% of that
stream's, or player's, output goes to the output device selected in
the menu by the stream's mute button. It is then the device's volume
control under ‘Output Devices’ which alters the volume you hear.
