device recognized but no sound LM19

Post by drorkb »

Hi,
i'm using LM 19 cinnamon (3.8.9) on my DELL Inspirion 5558 laptop
i updated the linux system and since then my laptop stopped producing sound, not from the built in speakers neither from headphone plug.
i tried a few different players, rebooting and checking the sound settings. the sound test actually WORKS and the devices seems ok, but nothing else does.
what seems to be the problem?

Hi drorkb, and welcome to the forum.

There are a few possibilities as to why it stopped working. To help us help you, please paste back the results of running the following in the terminal: inxi -Fxz and aplay -l. Also start a song or video and get the results of pacmd list-sinks as well

When you paste back the results, please enclose the results in-between [ⅽode] and [/ⅽode] code markers by selecting </> from the mini toolbar above the textbox where you type your reply.

Okay. That helps and is good to know.

When you were playing that youtube, sound was trying to play out the HDMI port.

I suggest installing and running PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol.) When it opens, make sure on the configuration tab the second Built-in Audio profile is set to Analog Stereo Duplex, then play something again and if still no sound, go to the Playback tab and change the device it's playing to by clicking on the box above the volume bar.

Hope that helps.
