=== coalwater_ is now known as coalwater [00:48] Hello all, might I be able to ask a quick beginner question?> [00:48] Haha, I should have read the title line. [00:49] Indeed you should have :P [00:49] tj_: What's up? [00:50] I have an Asus n53jf laptop. I installed Ubuntu 11.4 and so far have really been enjoying it. I had issues with installing the nvidia drivers and Unity not working but I was able to address that by killing the nvidia driver. Well now I seem to be having an issue with my sound. I checked to make sure nothing was muted and that the volume was up. I check to make sure my sound device wasdetected and it was. I check different out put methods to [00:50] no success. [00:50] !sound [00:50] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.
