I am new to Linux and have given Ubuntu a try. My laptop will play system sounds and test sounds but won't play sounds on videos and spotify etc through the speakers. Sound does however work through the TV when connected via HDMI cable.
What could be the problem, and how can I fix it?

Please install PulseAudio Volume Control and use it to verify, that these applications (“sink-sources”) forward their sound to the right audio device (“sink”) – example screenshot.

I've found that sometimes running mv ~/.config/pulse/ ~/.config/pulse.old/ in a terminal followed by logging out & in fixes things (this backs up, deletes & resets the configuration for pulseaudio, the program that manages sound on Ubuntu).
