@cement_head, that's one of the same problems I'm having on another machine... per this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/442748
The other problem is that the sound is very fragile... I can easily break the sound into "static crunchiness" by hitting backspace in the terminal 3 times while any sounds (e.g., music) are playing from another application. I can reset the sound by turning the hardware off and back on from the gnome-volume-control on the panel, but this is a very tedious workaround because it takes about 8 clicks to go through the process, sometimes more - if I have to minimize something that's full screen first. I'd be really happy to be able to: a.) find the place(config file or whatever) where I can change the default sound setting from mute to mid- level on login, and b.) have some batch-script or macro-like way to turn the sound hardware off and then back on, with one-click, or keystroke. Don't take me wrong, I'm absolutely not complaining about this wonderful and FREE operating system... these are just humble requests... nothing more. regards, Shannon VanWagner -- [Karmic] softmodem-opened /dev/snd/pcm* cause "pulseaudio: card not found - Null Output / Dummy Output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
