I recently installed Linux Ubuntu 12.04 and I cannot get any sound through my built in speakers with it. I can get sound through headphone though also Sound works on vista but not on Ubuntu and also when I go into display settings it says laptop on the top left of the screen and on the display window. I'm on a desktop pc and this is really bugging me. Thanks

A desktop PC with built-in speakers? Are you sure it's a standard form factor and not something like the HP Touch thing where the mobo is built in to the monitor? Odd form factors like that often use laptop components, which would explain a lot. As always, check sound settings and make sure none of your outs are muted. – Call me V Aug 23 '12 at 10:53
