So I recently dual-booted my pc with windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04, but I am having trouble with the sound in Ubuntu.

When I check out my sound output in pulseaudio I can see that my pc is detecting sound and trying to channel it out through my headphones, but there is no sound. Btw this is working perfectly fine in windows.

I also tried pacmd:

pacmd output (part 1)
pacmd output (part 2)

sudo alsa force-reload and sudo init 6 did not work either.

  • Are all output devices showing under 'Sound'? – Paul Benson Oct 07 '18 at 17:54
  • Can you try the following command in the terminal? Usually it works immediately but try restarting as well. sudo alsactl restore If permissions are denied, try using sudo.

I had the same problem and this commands worked for me.
Socket is enabled by default: 

$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio.socket

If you want pulseaudio to start right after login: 

$ systemctl --user enable pulseaudio

First try to remove and install again drivers.

sudo apt-get remove alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio

and force again alsa loading:

sudo alsa force-reload

It wasn't enough for me, so I'd to remove the directory for creating a new one.

 mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/old_pulse

Reboot for creating the new files automatically, and it should work.
