Public bug reported: I just reinstalled a fresh Ubuntu 16.10 on my Dell Vostro 5568 laptop.
The audio controller on the laptop is a Realtek ALC3246 with Waves MaxxAudio Pro. The external interface connector is a microphone in/stereo headphones/external speakers connector. When I select "System Settings->Sound" the output device in the dialog window shows as "Dummy Output" and when I press the "Test Sound" button no sound is heard from either front left or front right speaker ( I have ensured sound is not muted ). Note: Before reinstalling, I asked a question on askubuntu,com: http://askubuntu.com/q/841759/156688 So reinstallation of Ubuntu 16.10 did not help on my sound problem. ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636905 Title: Sound card not recognized on Dell Vostro 5568 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1636905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
