Greetings, I recently installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 on a Dell Optiplex 7020 Desktop. The sound just isn't' working at all. I need sound for: - playing a video in a browser - playing a video e.g. mp4 from the computer - using Audacity - using Flowblade - using a MIDI keyboard (Akai MPK Mini) - - using MuseScore I originally had Ubuntu 18.04 and was trying to get the sound to work with all these and couldn't get it all to work. It was a nightmare. All in the list above worked individually but fixing one to work would cause another not to work. Then I saw Ubuntu Studio and thought that would be better. So far, it is not. At this point, I'd be willing to remotely hire a Linux desktop consultant to configure the sound. Is it possible to hire someone remotely to do this? Thanks!

You will want to run the jack audio server. Use qjackctl to setup and run/manage jack. You won't be able to use firefox with jack unless you compile it from source. You can download the audio/video from the browser and play it with something like audacious. I also recommend using a proper sound interface. Internal (built-in) audio interfaces are often really bad. I like the maudio fast track series because its good enough and affordable. Let us know if that gets you any further. Jason
Do you know what audio chip the laptop has? Open a terminal then lspci. look for Audio. On Thu, Jul 23, 2020 at 9:32 AM Mickey <mickeydog@taosnet.com> wrote:

Turns out alsamixer keeps muting the master track. I haven't see that before. Nothing in journalctl. I figured it was a firmware issue. I didn't check the lspci devices.
