Ah, that sounds familiar, no pun intended. I had that problem once, and if I recall, it was that the alsamixer was muted by default, and I was only able to unmute it by running alsamixer in a terminal. I don't recall all of the details offhand, but it was along the lines of this post: http://sourcedigit.com/10777-fix-sound-ubuntu-14-04/ down past the three solutions, starting at the part entitled "Fix No Sound In Ubuntu 14.04 As HDMI Enabled BY Default" In my case, it wasn't about HDMI, but that one of my channels was simply disabled by default, and this was the only convenient interface by which to change it. After enabling the proper channel, I finally had sound. None of the other sound menus had any effect. Again, this was my case. It seems like there is a plethora of reasons why this might be happening, if you look around on the web a bit. YMMV, good luck. - KR -- This email account is used for list management only.
