I run MINT Linux not Ubuntu.
I tested my sound like this:

Anywho, I used alsamixer to turn everything way up. But, no luck..

If anyone has points I'd love to hear from you. Also I can open a SSH or Remote Desktop system so you can just take control and try...

Any advice/tips/docs or thigns to check..?

Thanks

Robin
