[ubuntu-studio-users] Sound broke in upgrade to 19.10

Sun Nov 24 21:35:01 UTC 2019

Cyril,

I apologize, it does seem as if your issue is relevant.

EVERYONE:

I highly recommend posting your issues on askubuntu.com since these issues seem to be related to the Xfce environment (brand-new at version 4.14 this release). Because it's related to the desktop environment (which is not specific to Ubuntu Studio and is shared with Xubuntu), you'll definitely find more help there.

Additionally, askubuntu.com should always be your first point of contact for issues, not this mailing list or IRC since there may be past, relevant issues, or whatever support is given there can be referenced in the future. This eliminates duplicated effort.

Thanks,
Erich
