Daniel, thank you a lot for the tip. Indeed, when I entered alsamixer, it showed two playback devices, S/PDIF and S/PDIF 16. The first on was showing a square wih '00' inside and the second was showing 'MM' inside (see attached screenshot). It always happen if you liveboot from ubuntu or do a fresh intall. (Same thing does not happen with Linux Mint, which is strange - both devices always come unmuted by default). After a little struggle, I discovered that pressing 'm' on the keyboard would change the status from 'MM' to '00' on the second playback device. Then I started having sound. :) So, apparently, it seems the problem is solved. It has worked with 13.04 default kernel and with the latest one from the default repos as of now (3.8.0-19 #30), as long as I manually unmute the S/PDIF 16 after installing Ubuntu. But if I turn the computer off. When I turn it on again, although the S/PDIF 16 comes unmuted, I must press the volume key on the monitor (it's a LG All in one computer) to get the sound working. If I don't press the volume key, there's no sound at all from the speakers. On Windows 8 (that unfortunatelly came installed), it works without having to press the volume key after turning the computer on. Maybe the fact the S/PDIF 16 playback gets muted by default has something to do with this 'volume key' issue. I don't know and any help debugging it would be mostly appreciated. Thanks a lot. ** Attachment added: "alsa-mixer-ubuntu-1304.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1175095/+attachment/3688282/+files/alsa-mixer-ubuntu-1304.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175095 Title: No sound Ubuntu 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1175095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
