Lubuntu 14.04 no sound, can't install pulseaudio
5,894
You try to install the pulseaudio (1:4.0-0ubuntu11)
from the trusty
repositories. But you have enabled trusty-updates
, therefore libpulse0 (1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1)
is to be installed.
The only explanation is that you have forgotten to start the command
sudo apt-get update
After that
sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio
and to upgrade the whole system
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have two PCs I've installed LUbuntu 14.04 on. On one sound is fine and pulseaudio was installed during the OS installation. On the other pulseaudio is missing, and there is no sound at all, not from audio jack nor from HDMI. When typing
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio
I get this error:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pulseaudio : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:4.0-0ubuntu11) but 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1 is to be installed Recommends: pulseaudio-module-x11 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio but it is not going to be installed Recommends: rtkit but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Leo Ervin over 8 yearsI installed pulseaudio as suggested in the last comment to my question before you posted. Sound kind of works. Then did what you said as well. Sound works, which is a progress, but stuttery and poppy if from HDMI. If from audio jack (headphones) it is OK, What have I done wrong or missing?
