No audio output in Ubuntu 20.04 following installation with Windows 10
I just set up Ubuntu 20.04 on my SSD, matching the setup for Windows 10 (dual boot). When using headphones, no sound comes through in Ubuntu, but it works fine when switching back to Windows 10. I attempted a fix from GitHub, but it didn’t help. Audio seems normal during Windows sessions. Anyone have any suggestions? My laptop specs are a Lenovo C930 with 256GB SSD, Intel i7-8550u.
It is more than likely one of these two problems: 1.) Your laptop does not have proper audio drivers for Linux. Unlikely since Lenovo is at least decent for Linux driver support, but certainly possible. 2.) Something is wrong with the pulse audio server First, I would make sure the audio device is being detected. run this command in the terminal: sudo lspci | grep Audio If you get an output, congratulations, it's not a driver issue. If it is, you're going to have to look up to see if there's an audio driver available for your laptop. If it does appear to be a pulse audio issue, first I would make sure pulse audio is running. In the terminal run the command: pulseaudio --start This makes sure the pulse audio server is actually running. These are the first things to do. If this doesn't fix it, let me know, I'll help you further, I just don't feel like writing more if I don't have to.
