About a month ago I installed LM 18.3 Cinnamon on an HP all-in-one PC for some friends. They have just noticed that there is no sound - they hadn't tried the sound until yesterday. I checked all the obvious things and installed PAVCONTROL as well - no joy.
They have an AMD audio card - just one card on the system
Card Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:14.2
Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.13.0-38-generic
ALSA mixer shows no speakers
the funny thiong is when I go to the sound settings and test sound that works for right and left but I can not get sound from YouTube.
No Sound LM 18.3 Cinnamon

Code: Select all
aplay -l
Code: Select all
inxi -A
Code: Select all
awk -F"[][]" '/dB/ { print $2 }' <(amixer sget Master)

Re: No Sound LM 18.3 Cinnamon
Unfortunately I cannot explain what solved this issue.
I ended up taking a "shotgun" approach because I was working remotely I had apllied several things that I had found between this forum and a few other places on the Internet. However no one was available to test after each thing that I did. Not the way I like to approach fixing things but the best I could do under the circumstances. I also did a sudo apt update as well as updated with the latest kernel.
After a RESTART the sound came on Sorry I cannot be more definitive as to the solution
