[Solved] No sound at mint12KDE

[reg-br]

Hi all. Have been trying linux for many years but still a newbie bc always had to use mainly that other OS for professional reasons.
Got a SSD recently and decided to divide it and put 3 distros on it: mint12(kde-version), fedora16(gnome3) and ubuntu11.10(unity), all 64bit. Everything went well and i have a perfect 5-OS multiboot system. Things i had/wanted to change i would do a search and find, but i'm having a issue with mint, i think it's simple but still couldn't figure out: there's no sound.

Since mint uses ubuntu as a base i think it could be useful to compare some files/configurations since in ubu the sound is ok,
but i need directions. One thing that happened was showing that message when accessing the multimedia settings:

""Removed sound devices:
kde detected that 1 or more devices were removed:
do you want to forget about them?
-capture HDA intel PCH
-ALC889 analog (default audio device)""

I decide to pick "NO" at first but later saw a message in a forum recommending "YES" as it could be a redundance.
After that the message is not showing but nothing has changed, still no sound..

Don't know what could have caused this; the only software i added was chrome and gnuchess, no multimedia software,
i didn't remove anything and had no crashes.
Already checked alsamixer and volume controls, and that's not it.
I have no sound at all, my system is a desktop, MB-gigabyte Z68P-DS3, onboard Realtek ALC889

As i said, my linux knowledge is limited, so it could be something very basic that i'm missing.
So that's it, any help is welcome.

Try installing the PulseAudio Volume Control

Sometimes the audio is muted, you can also try different settings.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
