Welcome to Mint spinyshooter
It's always a good idea to add some facts about your hardware for sound issues
You seem to have AC97 audio, but we need to know the chipset to continue
Also check out the settings - in the volume control, in totem and movieplayer in.....

If you're lucky, all you have to is go to a terminal and enter

Code: Select all

alsamixer
Then adjust the volume levels (up/down arrows) and if a setting is muted, unmute by pressing m. The most important settings are master and pcm. Then enter this command to save your settings:

Code: Select all

sudo alsactl store
If this doesn't work, there may be an issue with your type of sound card.

It's an Analog Devices chip
As long as it's not ISA you could give it a try - don't forget to turn off the built in sound to avoid conflicts
