I run Linux Mint on my personal computer.
There are two bootable partitions on the hard disk.
SDA2 boots Sylvia, the current version. NO SOUND HERE.
SDA4 boots Serena, an older version. Sound works fine here.
Looking for differences between the two systems I found this (differences
are in *BOLD*):
SDA2 Sylvia (NO SOUND)
