This is still a problem. Every time I use my computer, I have to delete the contents of the pulse folder and switch the audio settings to get the sound to work.

I just slapped my Nuc (NUC6CAYH) onto a different Samsung tv (UN40EH5000FXZA ), then installed PulseAudio Volume control and selected Digital Stereo (HDMI) output in the Configuration tab. The sound worked. But if I leave the computer alone for too long or restart it. the audio cuts out or becomes s...

When I open Firefox, play a youtube video, and then open Sound Settings/Applications it says "No application is currently playing or recording audio". (should be "nor") Also, is this supposed to be like this? When there's a video open in chromium it shows up down in the sound are...

Problem is back. No sound in Firefox nor Chromium. But there IS system sound and I can play audio with VLC. I tried emptying the Pulse Audio folder and the other troubleshooting guide tricks. The terminal output of inxi -Fxz ystem: Kernel: 5.15.0-58-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.3.0 De...

Ok, making progress. I typed "smb://192.168.0.9/Downloads" into the navigation bar because I believe it's a folder with sharing permissions. The "Authentication Required" window popped up! I clicked "Connect As Registered User" I entered my Username and Password I left ...

<START RANT> GOD THIS IS SOOOOO ANNOYING !! ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO DRIVE US ALL CRAZY OR SOMETHING ? THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY IN WHICH A USER CAN "RE-SIZE' A WINDOW IF HE WANTS TO. THAT IS, HE CLICKS ON THE WINDOW BORDER AND "RE-SIZES" IT. NOW, I SPEND HOURS DAILY HAVING TO TRY TO CAREF...

In Linux Mint, I went to Network and clicked on the "Windows Network" folder. I typed "smb:///vwin10.local/shared" into the navigation bar. I got the error: "Could not find 'smb:///vwin10.local/shared' Please check the spelling and try again." I cannot reproduce your su...

Wait. The audio problem seems to have mysteriously gone away. No idea what's happening here...

Problem: wife wants to watch videos on Chrome or Chromium, but there's no sound within Chromium. There is system sound and sound in Firefox. Wife doesn't like Firefox.

I've added a Linux Mint 21.1 NUC to a LAN network consisting of a Windows 10 htpc and a Hackintosh. I want to be able to open folders with media files on the Windows htpc from the Linux Mint NUC. What I've tried: When I click on Network/Windows Network, it is empty. From the htpc, when I click on th...

This thread was incredibly helpful to me in setting up Romanji switching for typing Japanese! As well, in Mint 21.1, there are fairly explicit instructions in the "Input Method" application accessible from the Start Menu.

I'm getting the same error , but "Cinnamon Settings Daemon xandr" isn't in my start up items and I can't find it in the list of applications to add. I did monkey with my display settings when I had trouble with my old tv, but I thought I reversed all that... Please help? Here are my inxi -...

If you're using Linux Mint Cinnamon, then you can just go to any folder, right click on an empty area to get the context menu, and select 'Create New Document', then pick 'Empty Document'. That will create a plain text file, which you can name mpv.conf. Or from the desktop start menu you can pick '...

I believe the default behaviour of mpv and Celluloid is to automatically load subtitle files with the same name as the video file. So if you're playing a video named 'video1.mkv', then if you have a subtitle file named 'video1.srt' in the same folders as the video, it should automatically load. I t...

Since I can't get VLC to work in Mint, I've been playing around with the packaged "Media Player" and also "Celluloid". Celluloid is a lot smoother and I prefer the gui. However It doesn't automatically find my subtitles (which have the same name in the same folder). Worse, it doe...

Going into Pulse Audio Control, the "Configuration tab" I changed the setting from "Headphones"(?!?) to "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output", then restarted.

Yay, sound!

Please see signature for vital stats. I just upgraded from 18.2 to 19.3. I noticed I had audio in Chrome, but nowhere else other than occasional beeps. (No firefox, no start up chime, nothing when playing videos) I tried this: Delete the files in /home/YourUserName/.config/pulse then run pulseaudio ...

Just updated to 19.3 and had a little hiccup.
The solution still works, but I had to change "DP1" to "DP-1":
Thanks again!

I'm trying to use web conferencing (vmixcall). I'm using the Logitech C615 webcam. I installed "cheese" from the software manager and it works. When I attempt to open vmix on either Firefox or Chrome, I get the identical error: "Sorry, but we were unable to connect to your Camera. Ple...
