Thanks for the suggestions: >Maybe rename your .pulse folder (if there is one) to see if it works? >If not, rename it back.
Tried this & a new folder is generated but still doesn't work :( >Have you run > >alsamixer Looked at this & as far as I can see nothing's muted etc. Also looked at the pulseaudio utility. The meters move when something plays and the application playing the file is correctly identified but no actual sound! >If not the run 'killall pulseaudio' restart any audio apps then test. If that worked, >pulseaudio needs reconfiguring or removing No luck here either. >Remove sound card, boot, shutdown, add soundcard, boot, test. Presume you mean physicaly remove the soundcard. It was quite a struggle to fit so I'm a little reluctant to mess with it and risk damaging it. Looking increasingly likely I'm going to end up having to reinstall. A shame really since it's only sound that's the problem. That's life! George Only other things I would do is a full system update. Remove sound card, boot, shutdown, add soundcard, boot, test. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
