Totally no sound for speaker after installation. I already tried configuring all mixers, volume levels, all are set properly.

My speakers had been working with Windows XP prior to my Linux Lite installation.

Maybe someone can help.

Hello, All!
 
I am new to LL. I THINK I saw it mentioned in a review of lightweight Linux distros somewhere, so here I am.
 
I've been interested in Linux - and have occasionally tried out different distros - for quite a few years now. However, I never could find one that would support all my hardware without compiling kernels - NO noob wants to do THAT unless they have to. In addition, the distros I tried were agonizingly slow. It was much easier to just return to Windows.
 
Then about three years ago, I tried Ubuntu 11.04. With Unity, it was also agonizingly slow. Somehow, I then stumbled upon Lubuntu 11.10. Finally - a Linux that isn't painfully slow AND could install all my hardware! Until now, for ME, Lubuntu has been the one to beat.
 
I have continued to try other distros, but nothing else proved itself to be equal. Lubuntu SCREAMS on my more modern laptops, but it runs into a little trouble on my test platform - a Compaq Evo n600c with a 1 GHz P3 CPU and 512 MB of RAM.

I went distro-shopping again for a number of reasons. L13.10 is buggy. Also, it seems that the Lubuntu development team has found better things to do with their lives. This is probably the biggest reason why L14.04 is going to be Lubuntu's first LTS release.  Additionally, as we speak, LXDE is going through some MAJOR changes - changes that are sure to cause new bugs, and with no one at Lubuntu to help fix them, IMHO, it's time to move on.
 
I run a forum on free software elsewhere, and with free Windows XP support going by the wayside in a few weeks, I wanted to find a Linux distro I could recommend to people in an after-XP world. Towards that end, I have spent the last week installing and evaluating different 'lightweight' Linux distros to recommend as replacements for Windows XP.
 
I evaluated various versions of Puppy, LXLE, Debian 7.4 LXDE, Peppermint, and LL. Most distros are either noob-friendly OR lightweight, but not BOTH. Also, some don't support my Evo's battery indicator, and one required a kernel mod to support the sound card. Noobs AREN'T going to compile their own kernels.
 
I haven't been on LL (32-bit) for long, but it's the one I've chosen to recommend to people with older PCs and laptops in need of a feature-rich, lightweight Linux OS that is easily tuned to a user's specific needs. I'm surprised no one else has come up with the idea of automating Synaptic and apt-get to the extent LL has. It REALLY makes it easy for the uninitiated to add things.
 
I look forward to working with LL for some time to come, and to now install it on my other laptops.

The initial startup screen said Linux Lite will begin in so many seconds, and then froze when the timer went away. I tried it on a different pc and it worked fine. What gives??

Hi guys, I'm new to Linux, long time Windows user. Linux Light looks really good, very easy to get around in. I still need to run Windows apps for work. I'm wondering if you have a 'walk through' on how I can install Virtualbox or any other good VM software so I can run up a few Windows machines.

The more pictures and hand holding the better ;-)

Thanks again.

Hey,

That seemed to have work thanks but now I'm back to my jittery/stuttery playback of sound.  Can you help with this?  I don't want to end up repeating this troubleshooting cycle thanks.

My first step of course though will be restarting my system and listening to other sounds to see if it's the same output.

[size=1.35em]Thread titles:[/size]

Thread titles should be brief but descriptive.
eg. You want to make a thread about installing 'Gimp' on Linux

Thread title would read:
How to install Gimp on Linux

Thread content:

For install commands and code in general, please use the Insert Code button on the posting menu bar or [ code ]sudo apt-get install gimp[ /code ] (without the spaces in the code brackets) to enclose your code.
eg.

My computer is old PC with one AMD Athlon XP processor. I used to have Linux Mint (Maya) 13 and Mate desktop, but what I didn't like about it was processor use being all the time around 95%. On Linux Lite it is only around 40%.
So I am very pleased on the processor usage and the nice outlook of Linux Lite.

hi guys,

I am a newbie and recently I was troubleshooting my sound - which at the time was crackling - but now I have no sound, to which I sound card is not detected or is deleted.  Can you please help?  I tried following the sound troubleshooting in the manual options for my OS and this is what I got up to.

I really can't stand no sound - no music, no videos, mo' problems.  Anywho, so I have browsed a lot of different areas and I have no access capabilities which may be the problem? In the sound control panel I have no output or no sound cards to configure.

It seems to me the system is recognizing drivers and all that and when looking I'm not I have the right compatitibility either:

The first link shows the troubleshooting I have done in terminal (sorry if it's a bit excessive):

I have attached files for any hopefully helpful information.

I've been testing the 14.04 Ubuntus. Been very impressed with both main Ubuntu and Xubuntu. I'm looking forward to the next new LTS release of Linux Lite. Any idea when we might see an Alpha/Beta/RC early version of Linux Lite?

Awesome new forums guys.  Great work Valtam, ShaggyTwoDope, and Teddy5090.
