No sound on Linux Ubuntu

[hV]

Does anyone know anything about Ubuntu here? Don't go google my problem for me and paste links and shit because I've tried all that.

So if anyone here can genuinely help me by looking at lines of code to tell me what's up, thanks.

Right click the speak thing. Than find the output thing and switch it to your headset.

 

Edit:

I had to do this with my G35

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

 

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

 

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Sorry, I paste it every time :V

 

 

Anyways, what are you using? Pulse-audio, or ALSA, or some other weird variant?

If you're using 10.04, I think it comes packaged with Pulse instead of ALSA.

 

Need to know more about your sound setup. Using a USB headset? Normal 3.5mm jack? Using more than 1 sound-card? etc.

Well I did follow a tut. to get rid of Pulse-audio but I'm not completely sure it's fully removed. I have re-installed ALSA several times too. I am using 10.04 as well.

My headset is just a normal jack and I think it's just the one sound card but I want sound from my speakers firstly.

Thanks.

If you're using ALSA now, you can try "sudo alsamixer" for a nice little CLI-like volume control. Make sure those values are high enough.

 

 

Only thing I dislike about Ubuntu, and GNU/Linux in general, is the sound support. Other than that, it's a nice OS for the most part.

I've already tried using that, didn't work for me

Try installing windows

Depending on your sound card install the linux drivers for it, for instance realtek driver once you download it you have to use terminal and cd to the folder then type /make then /install. Got to ubuntu forums and search "installing realtek driver" replace realtek with name of your card.
