Sound muted or turned low

[Daniel Crone]

Hello.  Thank you for what I have so far.
I mounted the hard drive, am and in the home dir now.’Do I type rm -fr
And then enter?
And on next line
Type $HOME/.config/pulse;reboot
Thanks, I am using an ubuntu mate dvd, even though my system has a different ubuntu type.
