Complete newbie here.
I've just installed Ubuntu mate on an old Dell Inspiron desktop. I get sound fine out of a pair of USB headphones, but if I plug my speakers into the built in sound card (headphone socket) I get nos sound from the speakers. Looking at the hardware profile in sound references, it shows built in hardware is disabled and the only available profile is "Off".
Any ideas how to turn it on, or am I going to have to buy a sound card?
