Hey all, I just installed Mint 12 and I was not getting any sound from my speakers. I started looking for missing drivers and other potential issues when I realized that the volume was muted. I don't think I accidentally checked the box when looking at the sound settings so Mint might be getting installed with Mute on by default.
From the menu: System Tools > System Settings > Sound and uncheck the Mute box.
Hope this helps!
No sound? Check the mute box.

Thanks this solved my problem. I had same issue on latest ubunutu OS. Thought I was going to have to do a buch of other testing and downloading again. I am trying Mint, Liking what I am seeing better than the new ubunutu.
