I've run into reoccurring no sound problems the past few months.
I'm running Ubuntu Studio LTS 12.04.5 64 bit

Thanks for your replies, sorry for not being more helpful so far.
I tried logging in as guest from a fresh boot, but guest user could
not access any of the drives with videos in, nor could I mount them
as sudo was not allowed.
Then I logged out and back in as my normal user account, and tried
opening a video with Totem (the default video player) and it worked
perfectly, with video and sound. I also tried with VLC and it
worked. I also opened Rhythmbox and it played audio files okay.
So for no apparent reason it seems to have fixed itself without me
actually doing anything other than logging in as guest before
logging into my user account.
It could just be an intermittent problem of course.

My no sounds (Internet, e.g., YouTube; Ardour playback; wav files playback)
problem seems to occur after
package manager updates. Which package updates appear to be the culprits, I
don't know.
Also, sometimes after playing back files through softwares such as VLC,
Audacious, and Audacity gives me the same resulting no sounds scenario.
In each case, why I don't know, I get my sounds back to normal by opening ...
Applications Menu > Media Playback > PulseAudio Volume Control (PAVC) >Output
Devices tab > Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
At that point, even though I can see the horizontal left and right volume
displays moving along with whatever sound I'm playing, there is no audible
sound.
Then I click the green button with white checkmark...and voila!!!! My sounds
return right there and then.
I'd like to also point out that after clicking that button, it gets very
slightly either light grey or darker grey and is extremely difficult which is
which.
Hope this helps. ~Leo--
