No Sound on Laptop

[nitin chandra]

Thank you All,

@Oliver,
My apologies about Ubuntu / Mint. Also, first try was LM through pendrive,
the sound did not work. I was looking at installing a light version of LM,
but I will try, as Dave suggested, LM20 / Mate.

If that works, great
  else
will try Ubuntu USB
  elif
as Little Girl suggest

Thank you, all.. On Break through will keep all posted.

Thanks
