Public bug reported: My HDMI monitor has speakers that work in Windows 8. HDMI overrides the speakers plugged into the audio jack; they don't even show up any more.
In Ubuntu Linux (12.04 LTS 64 bit), when I look at Sound Settings I see an empty box for "Play sound through". After following instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules I get: d@cnSandlin8:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package linux-alsa-driver-modules-3.5.0-28-generic E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-alsa-driver-modules-3.5.0-28-generic' d@cnSandlin8:~$ After rebooting, I still have no sound and an empty box for "Play sound through".
