@Mark Rijckenberg I got alsamixer on terminal but I am afraid I couldnt find all the channels.Any way I tried with the available ones but not out of the ditch yet.Thanks for the support you are giving me.

Maybe your sound profile changed somehow.

Execute pavucontrol in a terminal.

Then change the profile by going to the configuration tab.

Also check the volumes and muteness.

If it is not installed already, install it with sudo apt-get install pavucontrol command.

When I went to pavucontrol config.I find the message:"No cards available for configuraton".Still loking for a solution.

Take another look at the mixer channels in your post #9

The first mixer channel (Master channel) is set at 1% volume.

You need to increase the volume to 100% using the arrow keys.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Abdul for more information if necessary.
