Hi Daniel Good of you to try to help. I'm very much a newcomer to Ubuntu however and I have failed to make any difference using 'pavucontrol'. Following my initial bug report I trawled the web for solutions and tried to implement several suggestions, none of which solved the problem. I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled pcm and that did make a difference, but I am not content with the result:- The drumroll at login comes from the speakers. The welcome sound at the desktop load comes from the headset. Music that I play on Rythmbox comes from the speakers. Sound from the web (for example YouTube) comes from the headset. Is there any way I can alter the settings so that the sound comes from wherever I want it to? Your help would be appreciated. Regards Murdo
