Linux Lite Forums

First of all I don't know what I'm doing with Linux.  :-[

I did look to see when I installed Lite on this computer no found in System information.
Read can see in oldest file in /boot don't know if that USA date style or UK 3rd month or 5th Month 2014 so it's been sometime with not sound since the start of last year.

I tried adding install updates drivers & tab additional drivers - But there No additional drivers available.

Also did create system report and got info below about sound card, looked here on forms did a search look.
From system info show I using Linux 3.13.0

So is there no drivers to get sound sorting on this computer
to add there no sound from website MP3 from hardrive or CD I do have VLC as player have also looked at sound setting clicked about not change. Looked here to file:///usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html


Thanks

Go into Sound Settings & look what s in there , maybe the sound is muted , happened to me sometimes .

Menu>Multimedia>Volume Control should get you to where altman is suggesting you look to unmute sound.

Hey thanx , you have better explanations than I have ! lol Forgot that part .

Thanks for reply it's not that I clicked most buttons with video sound playing.  On Volume Control the (Output Devices) TAB the blue line is going up and down with sound.

Speakers do work I have tried on another computer.

Hi Dyslexic1,

I had something similar in my early days...
You have probably checked.?
On the Volume screen Output devices I had a drop down.
I could see the volume blue bar moving, but no sound.
It was set incorrectly set to Headphones in my case.

Thanks I should have added screenshots like I have done with my other questions.
would make life easer.

I tried most combinations, but may have missed one.

Screenshots here to add
















Computer has been running a bit slow wound if reinstall will fix speed and fix sound problem.

Thanks

edit Dam screenshot came up small

Hi,

Not sure, but the output "dummy" does not look correct.?
I don't see that on my install, and it looks like it is "ticked" as the fall-back device, top right.
Sorry, can't be of more help.

Dave

Thanks for looking for me. mm dummy
There no sound from onboard speaker. 

Strange I had this picked Analog before but did an update today. I now have sound on Youtube & Vimeo  ;D
Thanks for all input  8)
