Just an update with some more specific details. LSPCI lists the sound as
02:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1983S Maestro-3i PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 10) On checking this evening, and opening sound preferences, the sound level was muted. Unmuting doesn't change anything, I still have to adjust the volume upwards to get any sound out. Sound theme is set at Ubuntu - Default Hardware is listed as above Profile is set as Analog Stereo Duplex On the output tab, the ES1983S is selected, with the connector as Analog Output/Amplifier If you need any further information, let me know Dave -- karmic: volume muted on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
