[ubuntu-uk] 10.04 lost sound

[bodsda at googlemail.com]

This sort of think occurred fairly often a few versions ago. 

My general test was to run alsamixer - check if anything was muted. If not the run 'killall pulseaudio' restart any audio apps then test. If that worked, pulseaudio needs reconfiguring or removing

Only other things I would do is a full system update. Remove sound card, boot, shutdown, add soundcard, boot, test.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [ubuntu-uk] 10.04 lost sound

Not sure what happened (or what I've done!) but I don't seem to have sound any more.

I'm convinced it's a software issue as if I boot from a live CD the sound works OK.

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling alsa & pulse in synaptic to no avail + various terminal commands (doing similar things) found in on-line forums. All to no avail.

Is there a way to reinstall the sound system?

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I should proceed.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

George
