Re: OT, Ubuntu Sound Trouble
Hi Jude,
I did remove asound.state.lock, but there is no card 0 there.
When running alsamixer, there is no choices that the arrow keys move to
after pressing F6.
It does say default PCM headphone, but I hear nothing else.
Maybe I am not getting the feedback because it is over SSH.
I've tried arrowing all directions and entering, and escaping, and still no
sound.
What are some commands I can do to unmute everything and make sure the
volume is all the way up?
This Linux audio issue is disparaging in terms of Linux ever becoming a
viable OS for the Blind.

In /var/lock, I have two files which I would probably erase if I were
trying to get a sound card playing. Those are card0.lock and
asound.state.lock. Then if on a gui system I'd run alsamixer and hit f6
and choose a card from the list with arrows and enter then hit escape and
then do speaker-test and see what happened. If speaker-test worked, I'd
then do alsactl store then reboot and see if the change held.
