<title>I can't hear any sounds on the computer</title>
40
<p>If you can't hear any sounds on your computer, for example when you try to
41
play music, try these troubleshooting steps to see if you can fix the problem.</p>
44
<title>Make sure that the sound is not muted</title>
45
<p>Click the sound icon on the top bar (it looks like a speaker) and make sure
46
that the sound is not muted or turned right down.</p>
47
<p>Some laptops have mute switches or keys on their keyboards—try pressing
48
that key to see if it unmutes the sound.</p>
49
<p>You should also check that you haven't muted the application that you're
50
using to play sound (e.g. your music player or movie player). The application
51
may have a mute or volume button in its main window, so check that. Also, click
52
the sound icon on the top bar and choose <gui>Sound Settings</gui>. When the
53
<gui>Sound</gui> window appears, go to the <gui>Applications</gui> tab and
54
check that your application is not muted.</p>
57
<section id="speakers">
58
<title>Check that the speakers are turned on and connected properly</title>
59
<p>If your computer has external speakers, make sure that they are turned on
60
and that the volume is turned up. Make sure that the speaker cable is securely
61
plugged into the "output" audio socket on the back of the computer. This socket
62
is usually light green in color.</p>
64
<p>Some sound cards are able to switch which socket they use for output (to the
65
speakers) and input (from a microphone, for instance). The output socket may be
66
different when running Linux than on Windows or Mac OS. Try connecting the
67
speaker cable to the different audio sockets on the computer in turn to see if
70
<p>A final thing to check is that the audio cable is securely plugged into the
71
back of the speakers. Some speakers have more than one input too.</p>
75
<title>Check that the right sound device is selected</title>
76
<p>Some computers have multiple "sound devices" installed. Some of these are
77
capable of outputting sound and some are not, so you should check that you have
78
the correct one selected. This might involve some trial-and-error to choose the
82
<p>Click the sound icon on the top bar and select <gui>Sound Settings</gui>.</p>
85
<p>In the <gui>Sound</gui> window that appears, go to the <gui>Hardware</gui>
86
tab. Make a note of which device and which profile are selected (so you can
87
return to the default selections if changing them doesn't work).</p>
90
<p>For the selected device, try changing the profile—play a sound after you
91
change the profile to see if it works. You might need to go through the list
92
and try each profile.</p>
95
<p>If that doesn't work, you might want to try doing the same for any other
96
devices that are listed.</p>
99
<p>Try changing the <gui>Connector</gui> option in the <gui>Output</gui> tab.</p>

<title>Check that the sound card was detected properly</title>
106
<p>Your sound card may not have been detected properly. If this has happened,
107
your computer will think that it isn't able to play sound. A possible reason
108
for the card not being detected properly is that the drivers for the card are
112
<p>Go to the <gui>Activities</gui> overview and open a Terminal.</p>
115
<p>Type <cmd>aplay -l</cmd> and press <key>Enter</key>.</p>
118
<p>A list of devices will be shown. If there are no <gui>playback hardware
119
devices</gui>, your sound card has not been detected.</p>
123
<p>If your sound card is not detected, you may need to manually install the
124
drivers for it. How you do this will depend on the card you have.</p>
126
<p>You can see what sound card you have by using the <cmd>lspci</cmd> command
127
in the Terminal. You may have to run <cmd>lspci</cmd> as
128
<link xref="user-admin-explain">superuser</link>; either type <cmd>sudo lspci</cmd>
129
and type your password, or type <cmd>su</cmd>, enter the <em>root</em>
130
(administrative) password, then type <cmd>lspci</cmd>. See if an
131
<em>audio controller</em> or <em>audio device</em> is listed—it should have the
132
sound card's make and model number. <cmd>lspci -v</cmd> will show a list with
133
more detailed information.</p>
135
<p>You may be able to find and install drivers for your card. It's best to ask
136
on support forums (or otherwise) for your Linux distribution for instructions.</p>
138
<p>If you can't get drivers for your sound card, you might prefer to buy a new
139
sound card. You can get sound cards that can be installed inside the computer
140
and external USB sound cards.</p>
