Can you see if gnome-media is installed

[Burky]

It is installed. Should I try uninstalling it?

[jmfal]

No, I don't use xubuntu and the info i'm reading some areusing alsa and some oss so Idon't want you to install something that may screww thing up more.

run this and see if you have this file

  gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

If you don't use gedit change to your favorite file manager

[Burky]

I have that file

[jmfal]

Good it makes things easier, open the file again using this

 gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

scroll to end of file and enter this line:

  options snd-hda-intel model=auto  enable=yes

save/close to the etc folder
Restart
check mixer for mutes
play some music

[Burky]

Sadly I had no luck

[jmfal]

TRY

  sudo alsa force-reload
                sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic
                sudo apt-get install --reinstall libasound2

one at a time
check mixer again for mute
play some music

[Burky]

I muted all the channels, then played music on full blast. From there I would just have one channel unmuted at a time, and tried all of them. I didnt hear any sounds.

Alright, each time just check that speaker/pcm controls are not muted
Try another jack on mobo maybe pin configurations are messed up.

What kind of motherboard
How many jacks and s/pdif

I tried every jack and made sure it was muted. I'm not sure how to find out what kind of motherboard I have 8 jacks, including the headphone and mic inputs in the front. There are 6 in the back that don't seem to be working.
