The sound on my HP ProBook 6550b stopped working a couple of days ago. I get sound via headphones just fine. I did run alsamixer and all bars are at 100. I did check other posts but couldn't find something that helped.

Executing this worked for me:



killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*; sudo usermod -aG `cat /etc/group | grep -e '^pulse:' -e '^audio:' -e '^pulse-access:' -e '^pulse-rt:' -e '^video:' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | tr 'n' ',' | sed 's:,$::g'` `whoami`

    Sounds probly set to default to and is a seperate audio device (read as)

    Try opening the pulse settings at the top right, and select different output device.



    If that doesnt work, then theres a software "switch" that requires drivers (possibly at a USB level) Run "lspci" and look for alien unknown devices.



    Terminal




    lspci




    This will list devices, Look for something like USB: Unknown/sound. Who knows. You can pastebin the output and ill look at it.

      Make sure that there is nothing wrong with the speakers inside the computer. If not download the driver by typing in google : sound driver for Hp probook 6550b and download the relevant file. To make sure the file opens, download 'wine' from the ubuntu software centre. It is a program that opens files compatible with Microsoft Windows. Hope this helps!
