[ubuntu-uk] No sound
It's recently dawned on me that it's been some time since I heard the jungle drums when Ubuntu boots up. I tried playing an mp3 which confirmed that I had no sound I've done a fair bit of googling but to no avail. Sound is turned on, the volume is high, Ubuntu recognises the soundcard, etc., etc. This is a dual boot machine and sound is fine on the PC. When I hover the mouse on the icon at the top right of the screen a yellow message pops up telling me that output is 100%, 0.00 dB, Dummy Output. Can anyone explain this and also advise me how to recover sound. Cheers, Keith. --- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffs, England. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

The bit about "Dummy Output" doesn't look right. Try to right-click on the sound icon at the top, then select "Sound Preferences", go to the "Output" tab and check that the device in the option list at the top and the connector in the drop-down at the bottom are correct. Mine currently has "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" for the device and "Analog Output / Amplifier" for the connector.

"sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/media/ /media/fnd/ -o username=,password='',file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" this may not be the case but hey worth a try. azmodie -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
