Huh, interesting. When I hover my cursor over the sound widgit in my top panel bar, it says:
Output: 100% 0.00 dB Built-in Audio Analog Stereo And it says this even when I have something playing that ought to be outputting sound. Doesn't 0.00 db mean silence? Reading this now to find out what I can: https://sound.stackexchange.com/questions/25529/what-is-0-db-in-digital- audio -- "So audio meters don't show the dBu, dBV or dBFS level of the signal (some do, but as an extra). Instead they show 0dB as the standard operating level of the system." Oddly fascinating read. I had no idea that decibels were coined in relation to Bell labs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575912 Title: [hostname, Realtek ALC269VB, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all after fresh xubuntu 16.04 installation Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hardware sound device is available, according to: aplay -l sudo lspci https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/sound-nosound.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: student 1739 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: MATE Date: Wed Apr 27 22:06:16 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-24 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release i386 (20160420.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: alsa-driver Symptom: audio Symptom_AlsaPlaybackTest: ALSA playback test through plughw:Intel failed Symptom_Card: Built-in Audio - HDA Intel Symptom_DevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: student 1739 F.... pulseaudio Symptom_Jack: Speaker, Internal Symptom_Type: No sound at all Title: [hostname, Realtek ALC269VB, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/12/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0703 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: 1001PXD dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: x.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0x00000000 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.chassis.version: x.x dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0703:bd04/12/2011:svnASUSTeKComputerINC.:pn1001PXD:pvrx.x:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rn1001PXD:rvrx.xx:cvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:ct10:cvrx.x: dmi.product.name: 1001PXD dmi.product.version: x.x dmi.sys.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
