There is a common problem that comes up with certain installations in which the
/dev files for the audio device end up being read-write only for root. The
easy answer is to go in as root and change the permissions to global
read-write, but that's a huge security hole, of course.
Bring up your machine as root and see if you have sound there. If you do, it's
almost certainly a permissions problem.

After installing Ubuntu 11.10 alongside I find I have no audio output
from built-in speakers. Headphones ok.
I've tried the solutions suggested found here and there 'round the 'Web - no
joy.
I no longer want to know how to replace the pivot pin for the 'scape
wheel, just want to be able to clean, oil and set time :)
Anyone solved this particular glitch with a reasonably easy fix?
Thanks,
