After upgrading my Ubuntu laptop to Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04′s code name) Alpha2 release , I was not able to listen to music for couple of days and I was very much tensed.
Today thought of recompiling the kernel as Volume Manager didn’t give me much options to fiddle with the settings. Luckily I went through launchpad once again to find Question #57928 where in I was pointed to Use Gnome Alsa Mixer to get this issue resolved. That was right, I was sure that I had no issues reported in kernel which is related to SoundCard. Hence it should be related to settings which are hidden at the moment in volume manager. So, I hit the command gnome-alsamixer to find Mute on all output’s. Remove all the mute options and you should be good enough.
There we go to get back music on box. Now, I can get back to studies….
I think I’m using alpha 3 or newer ( just installed ). I still don’t have sound in firefox. Gnome-alsamixer doesn’t help. Sometimes I have sound other times not. Sound from tv tuner works all the time though.
I guess I’ll have to watch more television and less youtube till it’s fixed
Check gnome-alsamixer again. I had similar issue and found that PCM was set to low once again. That resolved the problem. Or reinstall alsa tools installed using aptitude reinstall. That should fixed it the issue for you.
Thanks !!
works now and I can ejoy my musics!!
WOW! Who woulda thunk it. Works like a charm now. THANKS!
lovely dude…!!

It should help you out.
I just installed ubuntu for the first time and I cannot get my audio to work at all. I have a sound blaster 16 PCI card on an MSI 845 Ultra MoBo. I was running XP home and everything worked fine. I upgraded to Win7 x64 and neither Win7 nor Creative provide driver support, so I decided to switch to Ubuntu. I have loaded every package I need, checked cmos and I still can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. Please Help, I am currently in A+, but I am not nearly knowledgeable enough to solve this on my own. any help is appreciated!!!
Thank You!! PCM-uprising in Gnome-AlsaMixer solved problem in my case.
Thanks, man! =)
It really helped a lot! Can’t live without music =)
I have dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on Lenovo T500 and T61. I both machines if I mute sound in Windows it will not work in Ubuntu. And if the sound is set low, that becomes max sound in Ubuntu. Also if headphones are plugged in when Windows shuts down only sound in Ubuntu is through headphone jack.
Are you running Ubuntu via VirtualBox?
