HP Laptop No Sound
I have an HP Envy Touchsmart m6 Sleekbook. I am solely running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and nothing else. I have:
Memory : 8 GB
Processor : Intel i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz * 4
Graphics : Intel Haswell Mobile
OS Type : 64-bit
Disk : 750 GB
So my problem is that I'm not getting sound from my speaker. So the sound works perfectly fine with the headphones, but not the speakers. I went through the Sound Troubleshooting Guide on help.Ubuntu.com but there wasn't a guide to fix my specific problem.
In order to get my speaker to not sounding like something hitting a tin can, I used HDAJackRetask. I selected the codec of IDT 92HD91BXX and connected to my speakers. I have noticed when my computer is booting up that the hdajackretask comes up on the black screen, but I believe that is because of the install boot override thing that the jack retasking does.
Back to the Troubleshooting guide I went through, number 2 of the guide kind of worked. I can play sound that originally work when it is supposed to. Meaning, sound comes out when I run:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
But the guide never says what to do after.
I have already tried:
sudo killall pulseaudio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio
sudo service lightdm restart
I got this trying to fix the problem. Unfortunately, this does not work anymore. Also, I don't really know why because I'm still a beginner to Linux, whenever I restart using the last line, the laptop does not boot up. I have to either not use the last line or cold boot my computer.
My last option, which I don't really want to use, is to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch after saving all of my files. I really don't want to do this right now because of all the setting up I will have to do again.
Again, I am a beginner to Linux, only having really started using it a year ago, but something to know is that I major in Computer Science. Please be gentle in the criticism and thank you for any help.
I will provide any info that is missing when asked for. Again, thank you very much for any feedback.
