Running Linux mint 18.2 and no sound for quite some time.
I see a few threads attempting to solve this issue and I have tried some of them. All up to but not including building the kernal.
So here I am to see if I switched to Zorin would I still have the same problem as it seems, at least to my newbie readings, that it is an issue with ubuntu and Zorin is also based upon ubuntu.
I dont want to spend the $$$ and have it not work.

thanks

mint, zorin or ubuntu do not have a sound problem.
your machine apparently has some hardware that won't work out of the box. that happens.

please show us the output of
please use code tags for code.

Thank you ondoho but I have installed manjaro linux which I think is not a flavor of Ubuntu and lo and behold I have sound.
So, that says to me that it was mint.

Peace

well.
that's an uninformed conclusion; if i had to make a wild guess i'd say one or more of these things happened:

• your sound hardware requires a newer kernel than what ubuntu-based distros (zorin, mint) offer by default. because manjaro does generally have a newer kernel
• manjaro offers more/newer firmware/drivers required for your sound hardware
• the manjaro flavor you installed uses a different sound architecture

if you want to get to the botoom of it you could provide the output i requested.

Thank you for your kind help but I already switched to Manjaro and the issue disappeared.
Hah, though a few new ones popped up.
It just seemed like that printing problem is wide spread and unlikely to be fixed soon.
If you do a Google search on Ubuntu printing problem, you will see what I mean.

Thanks
