    Audio isn't working. I have the speaker volume set to 100% but it fails to produce any sound.

    aplay -l

    First, open a console and type:
    Code:
    alsamixer
    Ensure that neither the Master or PCM are muted (MM).

    If either show MM, then press the m key to toggle to 00 (unmuted).

          What have you tried ?

          Searching the Kubuntu Forums, maybe this: Topic: **READ FIRST** Audio problems.

          Or maybe, looking the Ubuntu bug reports, there are: Bugs in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu. Picking one: [System Product Name, Realtek ALC887, Green Line Out, Rear] No sound at all.


          Here the quick solution has been to remove the pulseaudio.

          Package pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is not installed, so not removed
          The following packages will be REMOVED:

          After this operation, 3,174 kB disk space will be freed.
          Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

            Thank you very much, now it works. Removed pulseaudio as described. installed pulseaudio volume control, unmuted sound in pulseaudio vol. ctrl and in system settings put speakers in analog stereo duplex.

              Re: ALC889A Audio not working

              new reboot, old problems, sound not working. pulseaudio volume control at start says "connection failed: connection refused".
              In system settings/multimedia/phonon/music there is not a speakers tab anymore. At driver preference/audio output/default output default preference there's a lot of hda intel ...
              pulseaudio is not installeed anymore.
              What to check next?
