missing at random times. Sometimes she doesn't have Sound when on Yahoo, or TheTrumpet.com, or other sites that have video's with
sound. I've read the numerous postings of problems with LMDE and I've checked the following things. After the fact, I've tried to find
things that don't have sound, but everything seems to work fine when I'm using the computer. I'm still getting grief, and I'm grasping at
straws, trying to find the problem..............................

I've gone too:
Within Users and Groups, select "Advanced Settings" and then select the "User Privileges" tab. I checked (Enabled) all of the necessary groups.Menu --> System --> Users and Groups
Those entries are shown in the attached PNG file.
I've added the other groups that I should be added to, with:

sudo adduser larry sudo netdev
Nothing is MUTED, and I haven't had problems playing MP3's when I try them. Youtube Video's seem to work for me as does the websites I visit.
I'm requesting a bit of assistance...............if anyone has anything to suggest, because I'm not sure my Straw House will take much
more of the Huffing & Puffing..........
And to top it off, my Daughter, who is in Texas, has informed me that her Compaq CQ61-313US Laptop with LMDE 201204 that I installed
on her last visit, now also has sound problems. Those problems were caused by her using MUTE to silence the Laptop. I've sent her an
email requesting detailed information on how she activated MUTE. When she UN-Muted the sound it hasn't had sound since. And, she
is wanting it to work. I've also sent her the above commands to test her system, and she is to reply with the results of the above commands.
When I get those I'll post those. But it most likely will be a day or so, as she is traveling in TX this weekend.
Does anyone have any ideas or things I can try to get the sound fully functional on my Gateway MT-6840 Laptop?
Both LMDE Laptops have the latest Updates as of 08-31-2012 via MintUpdate. And that hasn't been many.......
Thanks.
Larry
