What do I need to do to get my speakers working on my Imac w/ ver. 10.10?

Asked by markmlapointe

I just " converted " fully . I installed Ubuntu 10.10 plus updates and my Imac internal speaker does not work ? I used my earbuds and they have a VERY low volume coming out, almost inaudible? What to do ?

Hi

I have 10.10. too.

1: Call the Gnome Alsa Mixer. Check all the mutes and the loudness. The second bar, called Master, is important.

2: Read the following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Hope it helps.
