Recently, I decided to use Ubuntu as a work related OS. I was impressed with its overall performance and its simplicity (yes, Ubuntu is simple to me). Everything was working great until I found out that my sound card won't output any audio through the laptop speakers. If I use headphones, it works fine, but without them, no audio.
I am using an HP dv7 Quad Core edition (2013). I have configured the speakers, tried maximizing the volume settings, still with no speaker output.
All that it reads on the audio device selection panel is "Speakers; Built-in Audio"
My question is, is there a way to fix this issue? If not, when will it be available? Are there any drivers that should be available? For proprietary drivers (Additional Drivers tab), there aren't any drivers available, the list is just blank.
Here is a list of running devices if helpful.
