Linux Mint Forums

I'm sorry. For KDE users the command should have been kdesudo ... . I've never used KDE and totally forgot about that. That's ok, no worry. Regarding VirtualBox, is vboxusers in the output from running groups $USER in the terminal? Yes, it does appear in the output... But there is no sound on Virtu...

Users of 18.3 and earlier versions of Mint type this in the terminal: gksudo xed /etc/pulse/default.pa Did not do anything. So I opened my file manager in root, found the line and changed it. If still no change, in the terminal enter gksudo xed /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then enter your passwor...

Now that pulseaudio has been reinstalled SMPlayer does not work again. I changed the audio settings, I tried pulse, alsa, etc, but nothing works.
Firefox also does not work.

Here you are: I am hearing sound from the Built-in Speakers and sometimes from Headphones.

Here is the link: http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=9f1c8ccb5 ... 887035c1ed

I have to go now so I'll be in touch with you later on.

Yes, but it's an EXTREMELY long text. Shall I paste it here?

I'd suggest reinstalling pulseaudio then run these two commands in the terminal to get a thorough output of your sound system: cd ~/ followed by wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh Thanks. I did that and the only thing I got was a file named "alsa-info...

Thanks for trying to help me MrEen.

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* output is:
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0: oo 1549 F.... kmix

If you have more knowledge with pulseaudio perhaps I should reinstall it and make some more experimentation...

So... I have tried many different possibilities and yet it does not work fully. I installed apulse and tried to make it work with SMPlayer and Firefox but it did not work at all. I uninstalled pulseaudio completely because with it I only had my sounds system working (no sounds on Firefox and no soun...

Thanks for the suggestion Flemur.
I re-installed alsa-utils.
I did not find "apulse" package in the repos...

Hi MrEen, In fact I installed lots of different sound apps, beside alsa and pulseaudio because those two seemed not to work properly. I deleted the files you mentioned but I still have issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. To get the sound from Youtube on Firefox I need to have pulseaudi...

After having uninstalled and reinstalled Alsa, Pulse Audio, etc, etc, I am still having problem with the sound of my computer and in fact it's getting worse and worse, so I recreated a new topic.

I always had issue with sound since I switched to Linux Mint and now it's getting worse and worse, so I would like advices to reinstall the volume system by default. Thanks in advance for your help.

If I run sudo bind will I be able to link the app again?

I can't answer your question. I can't remember. Anyway my problem is somehow solved because I uninstalled the Win7 Volume Mixer and instead now I am using KMix. I had to uninstall lots of stuff (like Paman) because at first it was not working... Thanks for your help.

I did all what you've suggested but the issue is still there.

The error message is slightly different:

Thanks, but it did not helped.

Hi MrEen, Sorry to disturb you again but the issue happened again. I typed apt install plasma.pa/xenial but nothing was changed. The error message is slightly different: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'plasma-pa' for regex 'pl...

See if this works (I've seen something similar used, but I don't know that it'll work for us): apt install plasma-pa/xenial Yeah, it worked! Thank you very much MrEen. And thanks sleeper12 for your concern. MrEen, it seems that you are an expert with sound issue. I always had issue with sound since...
