Sound trouble shooting Ubuntu 14.01 LTS

Asked by rvgmec

When ever I play a meida file; offline or online, the sound gets muted. I need to then manually move the sound level indicator at the top right of the screen to the maximum position. Even then, soon after I unhold the indicator the sound gets unmuted. Many remedies suggested in different web pages have been tried to no avail. Please suggest a solution.

The command was executed. But the issue still persists. The sound level indicator returns to zero making the audio mute.
