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. 2 Answers
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 Try this:
sudo apt-get remove libpulse0 sudo apt-get autoremove And then try to install pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio I had the same issue, but this helped for me.
