[HOW TO] Fix audio not working

[AZorin]

To get audio working on your computer, open the Zorin menu → Settings → Sound and make sure that the correct device, profile, and volume are set.

If this still does not resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

1. Open the Zorin menu → Software.
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.

@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."

@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.
