No Sound in Linux

This is the most common problem, I have come across. Basically it boils down to this. No matter what I do, I cannot get the sound to work.

So, in this scenario, here's what to do:

• Install pavucontrol (I am not gonna tell you how! Linux has many flavors and each one can use multiple methods)
• Start pavucontrol (Basically done through terminal)
• Check the sliders and increase them to the level you want but keep them below 90%.

 
I know most of you will say, been there done that. But wait, there is more.
Here are couple of links, if the above mentioned does not work:

• Linux Journal Trouble Shooting Audio Part 1 
• Troubleshooters Troubleshooting Linux Sound
• Ubuntu Forums Comprehensive Sound Problems Solutions

I hope this helps.
