Hello Anton I have to say that the answer was **definitely** setting up sound to use alsa only - as soon as I did this all issues vanished - oh and as a bonus, audacity (set up to use alsa) worked too - I am at present running Mandriva One, and I have done the same here specifically to use audacity in this case, as the crashing never showed here (but the inability of audacity to use pulse audio was identical) - I assume the variation of pulse audio is different ?
If you really need me to check this I am willing to wipe Mandriva and re-install Ubuntu to help - but ideally only if you have need of my info. Please let me know if this is needed. cheers, and thanks for coming back to me.
