[ubuntu-uk] 10.04 lost sound

[George Tripp]

Thanks for the suggestions:

Tried this & a new folder is generated but still doesn't work :(

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!

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