Dick,
Another way to control sound is use your desktop menu and go to
settings->sound and try the various settings. Depends on the
window
manager menu. But command line like Rich suggests is good, too.
My desktop menu has Settings->Multimedia, but not Settings->Sound.
In Multimedia I have Cheese, Parole Media Player, PulseAudio Volume
Control, Rhythmbox, Videos, and Xfburn. None of those (except
PulseAudio
Volume Control) appear to have anything other than mute and volume
control, and those that play sound are all set to unmute and volume
at a
level that should be heard.
Is it possible that the audio part of the motherboard gave up?
Sounds
unlikely, but ...
Just type pavucontrol on the command line.
If that does not work install it: apt install pavucontrol
Even without playing stuff - pavucontrol allow to test speakers
pavucontrol from the command line launches the same program as clicking
PulseAudio Volume Control from the Multimedia menu. I can launch both of
them at the same time and see two instances of the display. Changing a
setting on one changes it on the other.
Is there some control in that tool for testing audio? I don't see
anything obvious. I just play a sound with some other program.
