NO SOUND FROM SPEAKERS

[Moltke]

Speakers suddenly quit. Installed new speakers and still cannot get any sound. I've attached a system report. Please advise.

To make sure the speakers are functioning you may try with

Code:

speaker-test

for that, open a terminal and type

Code:

speaker-test  -c 2

if everything's fine speakers will make some noise and you should get an output similar to this:

Code:

$speaker-test -c 2

speaker-test 1.2.2

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576
Period size range from 32 to 349526
Using max buffer size 1048576
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 262144
was set buffer_size = 1048576
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 11,019373
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
^CTime per period = 11,026943

If you get

Code:

command not found

error you might need to install

Code:

alsa-utils

install with

Code:

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils

and run the speaker-test command again. You may also try with

Code:

alsamixer

and see if can fix the sound with it.

Open a terminal window or use Synaptic Package Manager.
Copy/Paste the following, if you use the terminal:

Code:

sudo apt install pavucontrol -y

I believe pavucontrol is already installed in LL, might be wrong though and I'm not in LL right now but I think it is. Otherwise yes,  this is another option and probably an easier one since it has a GUI.

Hope this helps!
