Ubuntu: No sound - you can do that

The first way should be to check if the sound card was found at all.

• Go to System Preferences> Audio. There should be several entries under "Output"> "Sound output via" if the sound card was found.

No sound output - so you solve the problem

If the sound card was not found in the system settings, you can search via the terminal.

• If you enter the command "cat / proc / asound / cards" in the terminal, the system displays all the cards found.
• If a card was not found in this way, the next step is to search the PCI bus and the USB interfaces for hardware. Search for PCI interfaces with the command "lspci | grep -i audio". If you use an external sound card via USB, change the command line by entering the command "lsusb" instead of "lspci".
