I searched a bit in Google and -I think- that I've found the solution by resetting the default "sink":
The webpage: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/5d3gcb/no_sound_in_linux_mint_18/ First, I tried the first workaround in the terminal: $ sudo alsa force-reload $ sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio $ sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio $ sudo alsa force-reload But I got not sounds yet. So, I tried the second advice: $ pacmd list-sinks My "sink" it's sink 0, so I wrote: $ pacmd set-default-sink 0 Then: $ pulseaudio -k I restarted the OS, and the laptop has sounds again; Perhaps it would have sounds by applying the first or the second workaround only and restarting, but the case it's that doing the 2 things advised above the sound works OK now. I have applied this fix on Xubuntu 17.04, but likely it will work with Kubuntu and other flavors, as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
