I cannot hear sound from speakers

Hi :)

Click on the speaker icon on the top task-bar and choose "Sound Preferences" to check you have levels set reasonably. Often people have some odd channel muted by accident somehow.

Next is to try running through this procedure
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

But before that you might want to check you have set-up your multimedia by running through this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Please execute step 2, then send us the full terminal output from step 3 and step 4 from this procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known).

I apologize I did not mean to be a source for answers about Ubuntu ...It is
actually I that needs help for I am brand new to this system and have very
little skill sets when it comes to knowing my way around....I do apologize,
I can assure you though that the level of knowledge and help that I have
received amongst the Open Source / Launch Pad and Overall Ubuntu help
experience has been more than adequate, in fact down right helpful...so I AM
SURE SOMEONE WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS PROPERLY AND BEST OF LUCK!

Respectfully,

Sebastian Powell
