How can I fix my sound?
My sound card is not working properly. Sound only comes out of one speaker. I am certain this is not a hardware problem as I am running a dual boot with XP and the sound works fine on XP. I have tried tinkering with the alsamixer but that did not work.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.
Are you in the audio group? Check by executing
groups. If not,sudo usermod -aG audio $USERNAMEshould do the trick. This is what worked for me.Try this - Goto System settings -> Sound -> Select Speakers Built In audio and adjust the balance for it. It might be a noob approach to your problem but its worth a try.
@hello I entered the command you gave and then tested the speakers again, but still no luck. :(
@XEn When I select the Built-In Audio speakers I don't get any sound. I only get sound from the CA0106 Soundblaster option. I tried playing around with the balance for the CA0106 option, but I wasn't able to get sound to come out of both speakers.
Thanks for the responses though guys! :)
It seems your drivers aren't installed right. Try reinstalling the drivers for your sound card. A google search should be able to help you on how to do that.
