Audio not working in 12.10
- by frampy
I did a clean install of 12.10, when I open Sound Settings in gnome the only device in the list is "Dummy Output", and sound is not working.
Sound worked fine out of the box in 12.04
I ran alsamixer, it says my card is "HDA Intel", and chip is "Realtek ALC880". The alsamixer playback output was set to mute at first, unmuting did not fix.
I checked out the info at http://www.unixmen.com/2012003-howto-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu/ as suggested on a similar question, I've done everything there except installing the ubuntu audio dev team driver. Should I try install this?
Edit:
I've been reading the sound troubleshooting guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
It looks like Ubuntu is finding my audio device correctly.
mike@wucade:~$ lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"

Still stuck as to why this isn't working.
