Laptop after 16.04 upgrade : no sound output
After upgrading to 16.04 I cannot get any sound output through either headphones or built-in speakers on my MSI GS60 2PC-247XFR. Hardware issue is unlikely since the problem appeared right after upgrade, and it worked before.
I checked Sound Settings, PulseAudio Volume Control and GNOME ALSA Mixer. It should be noted about those last two that :
- alsamixer (terminal interface) does not show any volume bar, which is why I used this GNOME GUI which seem to be working just fine.
- PulseAudio Volume Control shows two Built-In Audio in tab Configuration. I turned off the first one, which shows a list of profiles all appended by "(unplugged)" and was originally set to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output (unplugged)"; the second one is set to Analog Stereo Duplex. This changed nothing as far as I can tell.
PulseAudio Volume Control does display an moving volume bar when sound is playing (e.g. from web browser).
I followed https:/
Output of alsa-info.sh is at http://
The output of
cat /proc/asound/
from step 4 is at http://
Finally,
aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/
does not display any error.
I read the latest related issues here and was bothered by the absence of any snd-hda-intel option, but a blind "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" in /etc/modprobe.
I found no other help in the latest solved question here, hence my own. Thank you in advance for any help you may provide, ot the time you may dedicate to my question.
