  2. Search for "PulseAudio Volume Control" and click to "Install" it.
  3. After the installation, open the Zorin menu → Sound & Video → PulseAudio Volume Control.
  4. When the app appears, please make sure that the correct input/output settings are set up and that no device is set to mute.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Fixing sound on Zorin OS 16

@Ocka I am not sure if the split post has worked. When I click the link to "No Sound on new install" above, I see error "Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private."

This is because the O.P. deleted that post, resulting in the new thread (that was created in the split) also deleting. The thread consisted only of that original post.

These commands worked for me

I suddenly had no more sound with Zorin 17.2. It came back immediately after installing the PulseAudio App. So thanks a lot, but there seems to be a bug somewhere in the Zorin Audio software.
