The specific motherboard this is for is shown using the sysinfo app it also confirms the information above. So i am guessing this must be software related? Any help would be greatly appreciated as i only discovered this issue after installing 12.04 from scratch and tried watching some films with no sound output? regards and thanks BM ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: device no sound -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001987 Title: 12.04 dummy output sound device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1001987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
