When it asks if you can hear the sound, say 'yes' even if you can't, or the driver will not be installed. Once the driver is installed, look at alsamixer in a terminal, using arrows for navigation and M for mute/unmute. You should be able to find the culprit there. Several people found themselves in your situation, including me, and the above worked for most of us. Anne
