I like to keep a persistent distro on a USB for various options, but I would never move to Linux as my primary, sole OS. I find sound issues, printer issues, and wireless issues to be a constant across the entire gamut of the Linux distro universe. It’s these types of “annoyances” that make many dislike Linux enough to give up on the OS.
“It’s a slight annoyance that this happened, and that my device is listed as unplugged despite that I am listening to music while I write this through that very set of headphones…But it works.” The sound has continued on Ubuntu 18.04 with no problems. Perhaps if I read your article then I could have restored the sound. I tried to upgrade in the normal way, but either I didn’t use the proper command, or my system was messed up, and I ended up not being able to boot because of upgrade errors.ĭid I mention that I had other problems, including Nautilus going missing? I eventually got it back. The final solution was to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04, which I did from a ISO image. I tried Pulse Audio but that did not work, and other solutions which sometimes worked, but I ended up with no sound on the next reboot. I tried a BIOS update, which worked for a time, but stopped eventually. I was very new to Linux at the time, but I researched the web and tried everything that was offered, but nothing worked. I think that it could have resulted from a bad kernel update, but I am not sure. Yes, I lost sound from the built-in speakers on Ubuntu 16.04. “Did you run into sound issues on your Linux systems in the past?” Now You: Did you run into sound issues on your Linux systems in the past? This fix should be applicable on pretty (almost) well any system encountering this issue, providing it uses ALSA and PulseAudio. It’s a slight annoyance that this happened, and that my device is listed as unplugged despite that I am listening to music while I write this through that very set of headphones.But it works. Tip: check out how to enhance sound in Linux with PulseEffects. However, for fun, I selected the Line-out device and was surprised to hear that my speakers went silent and my headphones remained active, solving the issue. My speakers were listed as Headphones (Plugged in) but my headphones plugged into the rear audio-jack still were listed as Line-out (unplugged). To fix this I returned to pavucontrol inside the Output Devices tab and inspected what devices were listed. However, I could hear audio through both speakers and headphones at the same time now. Doing so enabled me to have audio route to my headphones.
