No sound on speakers, sound on headphones and no system sounds
 
Hello all,

I'm changing jobs this week to a full Linux environment and we can choose our own distro on our laptops. So I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition, basically because I have good experience with Debian on servers and because this one is a rolling release. I wanted to go with Slackware since that's what I have installed on my private computer but I'm afraid that installing new software when I need it will take up more time.

Everything is working great except for the sound. I don't have any system sounds, no sound is coming out of the boxes whatsoever although I think everything is configured correctly.

When I plugin headphones then I have sounds from music players like Totem, MPlayer, VLC and so on but no system sounds. The system sounds are the least of my worries but can someone indicate me what I'm missing to get sound out of my boxes?

Here's some relevant info:
Code:
lspci | grep Audio

I've been searching with Google, have tried uninstalling Pulseaudio and things like that but I cannot seem to find what's wrong.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Eric

Mixer settings?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Already done that, alsamixer, pulseaudio preferences, any setting I can find. Strange thing is it works, as said, perfectly when I plug in headphones. Without headphones I hear nothing at all. Any idea?

Kind regards,

Eric
