<div dir="ltr">I had a similar problem. Try doing something like `aplay $(which aptitude)` and see if static comes out of your speakers. Use alsamixer to make sure your volume is on.

Everything is up, mic is muted. I don't think its a settings problem. The audio works fine through the laptop's internal speakers. There is only a problem when I plug in external computer speakers into the external speaker jack. Its almost as if the external speaker output jack is no longer sending a stereo signal so when I plug in a stereo pin jack there is nothing.

Nothing is wired differently than it was when everything worked perfectly on windows. I tried to find information on my sound card and came up with this. Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS690 HDMI Audio [Radeon Xpress 1200 Series] I don't know if that is the info needed or not. In system settings in "sound" nothing is muted, volume is up. I am clueless. It seems the audio stops as soon as it detects that I plug in external speakers. Any Ihelp isIn sound settings mute the microphone appreciated. In sound settings make sure the microphone is muted (in some distros this is automatic to avoid feedback), and check that the master and headphone channels are up.
