No Audio: Linux Mint on a Dell Inspiron 15
by kc067 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52WTE)
First, I'm a rank N00B with Linux. I installed Mint 19.3 as a dual-boot and all went well. However I've been struggling with no audio all day and can't resolve it.
I've been through all sorts of online suggestions to no avail and I've played with the settings in alsamixer ... it shows these options:
0 HDA Intel HDMI and
1 HDA Intel PCH.
I have selected the 2nd one several times and gone through the settings, then stored using [alsactl store] from a root prompt but it will not store. After reboot opening alsamixer, it shows [Default] with a single volume control and S/PDIF under it.
At this point I've tried everything I could find. If you're willing to help, please be mindful of the n00bness .... I greatly appreciate any help, but I'm kinda in the baby steps phase.
