No Sound from Speakers

Sputnik1 · 02-08-2011, 03:15 PM

Hi

I am unable to get any sound from my speakers I know they work because I have windows 7 on the second hard drive and they work, however, not using Ubuntu 10.10. I looked at the propriatory drives and it isn't there my sound card is a Realtek High Definition Stereo ALC260 can anyone Help. Please keep it simple as I am a newbie to Linux and I find it confusing at times.

Thanks

Sound tends to be a bugger. There is a systematic way of going about it but probably first log in as root and see if it works then; then enter the command 'alsamixer' and unmute everything in sight; then perhaps post the output of lspci and lsusb here, and perhaps lsmod as well.

If that doesn't work, try running alsaconf as root (in Ubuntu, that would be sudo alsaconf) and following the prompts. Perhaps your sound card hasn't been properly discovered.
