No Sound after installation
Hello!
I have tried trisquel on Windows with Oracle VirtuaBox and everything worked fine, even the sound. Then i installed Trisquel on my harddrive and realized that the soundcard does not work even a card is listed in the sound menu and it looks like everything is correct...
My notebook has SoundBlaster X-fi5 MB. Are there any possibilities to re-install the sound driver for my notebook manually? Or what can i do now to solve the problem?
I searched for similar threads in the german and english forum but even there are some threads with similar problems, nobody seems to solved this problem successfully. So does anybody has an idea what i can do to solve this problem now?
Thanks for every help in advance! Because using Trisquel without any sound is not really acceptable for me...
Best regards
The first thing I would try is updating the kernel:
Well, i updated now my kernel but nothing has changed; still no sound... maybe any other ideas?^^
Best regards
Oh ok... i just forgot to restart my PC after installing the kernel update... now everything works! THANK YOU! :)
Best regards
Try also with other distros, like Parabola MATE ISO. Do you have the option to manage volume? Or it appears like no sound? Try looking at a more advanced option with alsa mixer. It could also be that you may need to install some gstreamer packages.
With alsamixer it seems that everything works fine but i have still no sound... well, i did not tried to install another distro because i want to use trisquel if possible!
What are the commands to install these gstreamers packages? Maybe this will help...?^^

Trysquelanonymous, are you saying that you use alsa mixer and your sound begins working? Or are you just saying that your alsamixer opens and allows you to make adjustments, but still without sound?
No, alsa mixer did not solved the problem for me. Updating the kernel was the solution which worked for me!
