Any ideas, of what it can be.

  • With pavucontrol ubuntu, I can see that sound is detected and when a sound is on, you can see the line waving – Joe May 15 '14 at 13:16
  • If you dual boot with Windows 8, see this answer. If headphones work, and the speaker doesn't work or works intermittently, please click "Does this bug affect you?" in the upper left of this bug. – Claudia Aug 07 '14 at 07:53

Step 9

If you are using a dual boot system (even with Windows and Ubuntu installed on separate partitions), then make sure to set the sound volume in Windows to a high level before booting into Ubuntu. Also make sure to use the special function keys in Windows to make sure the loudspeakers are physically switched ON and working properly in Windows before installing and testing Ubuntu. This step is necessary with certain Toshiba Tecra laptops.
