Up to date Jessie. Sound worked until I turned power off to the external speakers. The sound has not been working since I turned the speakers back on. If I run 'speaker-test' I get noise: comp@AbNormal:~$ speaker-test speaker-test 1.0.28 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 192 to 2097152 Period size range from 64 to 699051 Using max buffer size 2097152 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 524288 was set buffer_size = 2097152 0 - Front Left Time per period = 10.934633 0 - Front Lef , but if I run 'speaker-test -c 2 -t wav' I get 'front left' and 'front right' from both speakers: comp@AbNormal:~$ speaker-test -c 2 -t wav speaker-test 1.0.28 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 96 to 1048576 Period size range from 32 to 349526 Using max buffer size 1048576 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 262144 was set buffer_size = 1048576 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right I am using the on-board sound: 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 809f Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 25 Memory at fe080000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel I have proven, to my satisfaction, thanks to a suggestion from a correspondent, that this is not a hardware problem. I loaded the Xubuntu 17.04 Live Desktop on the computer and the sound is live. I would appreciate some help in solving this problem. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
