Public bug reported: I get no sound whatsoever. My speakers are connected thru HDMI. When I run alsamixer there is no s/pdif listed. There is a digital and analog when I go to system settings/sound panel. I select test sound in both digital and analog output and I get nothing.
I have tried the following things: sudo alsa force-reload Reboot Didn't work Then: sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudi sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio sudo alsa force-reload Reboot Didn't work Open the terminal and edit speech-dispatcher file by using the following command: sudo gedit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher In here, change RUN=yes to RUN=no Reboot Didn't work So now what?
