New Installation; no sound

Post by sdcougar »

I just instaalled mint 8 kde on a pc, not laptop, no sound on either firefox or opera. I did updates. Is this a common problem with new installations? ..nothing muted and i find no info on sound in user guide. There is the sound when mint boots up or shuts down.

There were problem with sound on mint 8, you'd be better trying mint 9 though the KDE version is not released yet.

Not sure about KDE, but I had the same problem w/ LM8 Gnome desktop. I just had to go into the sound settings and mess around until it worked. I think I chose "no amplifier."
