(Likely a default index issue.)

Which sound card are you attempting to use?

This has happened to me also. Try going to system > preferences > sound and put all playbacks to Autodetect.
If it still doesn't work try playing a little with the playback device selection.

Hi, had similar problem with my Sony Vaio portable. No sound although everything indicated it there should be. The problem turned out to be my installation automatically set me up for an external amplifier...

To resolve I did the following.
Go to Volume Control; Edit Menu; Preferences; Tick "External Amplifier" then click close.
Choose the "Switches" Tab and un-Tick "External Amplifier"

PS: To avoid a loud shock, make sure your any music playing is not on full volume:)

Can you help with this problem?
