First of all, the audio used to play from the speaker but whenever I connected a headphone or speaker in the I, the sound didn't came. So I installed a realtek sound driver to fix this (actually I didn't find any relevant driver for my sound card so I installed it hoping it would show some light)

When I rebooted the system, my sound is completely gone and now ubuntu does not detect any sound devices in my system. I clearly installed wrong driver, now I need to remove and go to previous stage and find a correct driver.

I downloaded the latest package from realtek website, extracted the tar.gz file and ran the install file inside the extracted directory from the terminal using command sudo ./install

My laptop is: Dell Studio 1747, uses a speaker Creative Labs Sound X-Fi MB Sound Blaster and the chipset is INTEL PM55.

How can I fix this?

I am new to Ubuntu latest version 64 bit clean install. I had no sound for headphones. This is how I fixed it.

  1. left single click system settings (the icon looks like crescent-wrench in front of a gear)

  2. left single click sound.

  3. left single click hardware tab.

  4. Select internal audio (not digital stereo HDMI output; I have this HDMI choice because I hooked up front panel HD sound you may not have this choice. The bios to my E350on usb3 motherboard selects it as the default device for me) after selecting internal audio;

  5. single left click the arrow under Settings for the selected device. This arrow is just to the left of Test Speakers A drop down menu should appear then select Analog Stereo Output (not to be confused with Analog Stereo Input)

That is how I got sound to my headphones. Good luck.
