A friend that benefited on a refurbished laptop from the Computer Wombling Scheme had a sound problem. It was fixed by clicking on the loudspeaker icon on the bottom right of the screen and selecting "unmute" (IIRC). 2. Ensure the PulseAudio package is installed. 3. Check the kernel log. I use the dmesg command for that. Not sure how comfortable you are with that. You could try this command. (You can change the word sound for more relevant search terms):- dmesg | grep -i -A 4 sound That runs the command dmesg which outputs the kernel ring buffer and sends it to the grep command. I use the -i parameter to make the search case-insensitive and the -A 4 parameter to print 4 lines per successful search.
