I can see the vumeter moving in zorin sound settings when I perform a sound test but I can't heard nothing. If I plug a headset in jack I can hear the sound test.
I installed the pulse audio following other post solutions here, if some one can help me.
I don't remember in which zorin version did it stop working.
Thank you!
Changed your original post to OCD error. Please refrain from attempts to bypass the word filter, it is present for a reason. This is a family friendly forum and we aim to keep it that way.
In your Sound Settings, is Output/output device in dropdown list for sound test set to speakers or headset?
Try with speakers selected with headset disconnected.
In alsamixer, Look for [automute] channel and try that set to Disabled.
In alsamixer, Look for [Loop-back] channel and try that set to Disabled or Enabled to see any effect.
In alsamixer unmute (type M) at all your output channels and increase volume level to see effect.
In alsamixer hit F6 to see if any other sound cards listed.
I don't quite understand what you are saying, I wasn't trying to bypass anything, the error the forum gave me when I tried to attach what I had to put in Pastebin said that word. Maybe you should change the word in the error message if you want it to be family friendly.
Hi, thanks for replying, I have gone to do the first check you indicated and the sound works.
I do not understand what has changed. I updated the software yesterday with the pending updates, but I don't think that fixed it. I also did as indicated here https://vivaubuntu.com/instalar-odoo-en-ubuntu-18-04-paso-a-paso/ to be able to install Odoo. is it possible that something related to python or the apt-get --fix-broken install command fixed it?
Both volume indicators have always worked for me (mic and speakers) but this is when I can hear it.
The drop-down only shows speakers - internal audio, have always shown this device unless I plug the headset into the jack.
I changed the automute option as you told me.
I didn't want to change the others as I don't know very well what they do and the sound is currently playing.
From your latest alsamixer screenshots, I see both your [Headphone] and [Speaker] channels are unmuted and volume level set midway. Pleased to hear your sound is now working.
You should save your working alsamixer settings using:
sudo alsactl store
Note: I find fixing sound problems on Linux is sometimes more luck than judgement. Sometimes if you play around with alsamixer, it comes good for no logical reason.
