Good morning, I was recently testing Zorin Lite in live mode, everything was working correctly except the audio system, I performed several tests to see if the speaker worked, but nothing. I would like to know if this is normal.
There should be a little speaker icon on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, have you tried increasing the volume on that? If that doesn't work, could you please open the terminal from the zorin menu and type "cat /proc/asound/cards" and show what it outputs?
Can you please show what it outputs when you run "cat /proc/asound/cards" ? The command doesn't fix sound, it's so that I know what sound card you have to help troubleshoot.
Search on the application menu for "terminal" or "emulator". You can also right click inside any folder and select the option "open with terminal" or something similar.
Then you can type in any commands in there, and copy the output in here. To copy the output it's best if you use the mouse by selecting all the text, right click and copy. The familiar Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V don't usually work inside terminal emulators out of the box
What he means is that, when using sudo at the start of a command, you need to provide a password. This is because you are running that command as the "root user", which you can think of as the administrator of the system. However, in live mode this root user does not actually have any password so you can leave it empty when it asks.
The lshw command will output a list of the hardware components in the system. Specifying the -C network options will limit the list to the network components such as ethernet or wifi adapters. It will produce something like this:
But to be honest, at this point I don't really know what can be causing the audio problem and I can't really help out more than clarifying what's being asked to do However if you look around the forums a bit you will see that Aravisian knows his stuff.
