1) I read and followed the recommendation in the release notes, but that did not provide the solution.
2) I read that someone corrected this problem by downgrading to Mint 14, but I also tried that and my wireless network stopped working.
3) I read that someone fixed this by upgrading to kernel 3.10 and I upgraded the kernel, but this did not solve the problem. I also tried 3.11 and 3.11.1, but I did not have wireless networking with those kernels installed.
4) Looking at screen shots and videos of people switching to hdmi output I see there is a application called sound in settings. This does not exist on my computer. Is this normal for version 15 or what am I missing?
5) I used audio mixer to change my audio device, but I don't think it really does anything besides change volume. I never lose audio if I change the selected device. HDMI does show up as a device though.
6) I installed pavucontrol, but this doesn't seem to do anything for me other than volume control.
7) I ran pacmd list-sinks and found something that is interesting to me, but I don't know what to do with the information
