Public bug reported:
Source Package : gnome-volume-control
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
'apt-cache policy pkgname' is returning error - 'N: Unable to locate package
pkgname'
Ubuntu Software Center 4.0.5ubuntu0.1
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and made an initial update after which my sound
card was working fine. I have an on-board sound device along with a
Creative Soundblaster 5.1VX sound card in PCI slot. Though both were
enabled previously, there was no problem of conflict. I have a dual boot
of Windows 7 parallel to this Ubuntu installation.
After using for 3 days, there is no sound coming from my speakers. Tried
all the methods suggested in Audio troubleshooting in Ubuntu support
website. I installed various updates offered in the Update manager
during these 3 days. So, I'm also doubtful about any conflicts that
might have arose after an update. The sound card is still being
recognized but there's no sound from the speaker.
Ran the command "alsamixer" in terminal and found nothing muted. Checked
all sound settings and found none muted. Checked PAVU, PA Device
Chooser, Default Sound Card and GNOME ALSA Mixer.
Outputs of some commands I executed in the terminal :
venkat@Powerstation:~/Desktop$ aplay -l | grep card
card 0: CA0106 [CA0106], device 0: ca0106 [CA0106]

Any guidance on this issue would be great.
P.S. : I had similar problems with my Ubuntu 10.10. Initially, sound
works well and later after few days, sound goes dead. However, 10.10 was
removed and I installed a fresh version of 11.04 but the problem still
persists.
