Audio not working on Ubuntu 18.10 [closed]












0















Audio has been working on my system (dual-booted windows and linux) for a while, but yesterday it just randomly started saying "No output or input devices found." I have tried suggestions everywhere on the web but nothing works. If I run lspci I get:

Please help me fix this. Thank you.



UPDATE: I found out using 'alsamixer' I can change volume and sond works but KDE Plasme doesn't do anything and doesn't recognize the sound card.



Thank you.

  • What do you get when you run aplay -l? Also what is the output of sudo lshw -c sound?

  • They both show that I have an audio device installed.

  • If you are seeing the hardware and alsa devices, and more importantly can hear sound when you play music files, I suspect there is something wrong with pulseaudio. Have you tried to reinstall it with sudo apt purge pulseaudio && rm -rf /etc/pulse && apt install pulseaudio and then reboot?
