Thumbs down My Sound Card disabled by default.


Hello.
I used Debian Jessie x64 and my Sound system disabled by default and I must enable it manually.

How can I solve it?

Thank you.

Open the terminal and type alsamixer.

Use the arrow keys to hover over each column and raise up the Master, PCM and etc.

Look at the bottom of each column to see if it's muted or not.

{mm} means that it's muted and {00} means that it's unmuted. Press the m key to unmute each column if you have to.

If that doesn't work try installing pavucontrol-
That will give you more control over sound. <OR> at least it should.

Running the command aplay -l will show what sound card you have.
