Computer isn't playing audio. I've checked the hardware volume buttons, pavucontrol, and alsamixer. Nothing is muted. I've added the ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev. I've also done killall pulseaudio.
However when I try mplayer I get:
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
(which indeed does not show up with ls) and no sound comes out. Youtube via chromium also makes no sound; so does Vimeo; so does vlc.
