[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu 16.04 audio issues

[B.S.]

'Sounds' like you have current audio output set to hardware / hdmi.

Change it to the (non-HDMI) other one and you will probably hear sound.

I ended up leaving it there and setting vlc to default to the hdmi. (My 
TV is hooked up to that computer.)

My laptop is the same, but generally doesn't have the HDMI hooked up to 
it, so I leave vlc on the defaults there. Unless I happen to be doing a 
presentation or something.

I find the nomenclature confusing, but in System Settings / Multimedia / 
Audio and Video Settings, Audio Hardware Setup tab, I end up switching 
between Audio Stereo Output (or Audio Stereo Duplex), and Digital Stereo 
(HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input.

HTH.
