FOLLOW UP: Because I'm retired have tons of time and was curious, I reinstalled 19.2 MATE on the Fusion5 Lapbook T50 this evening. FIRST THING I did was install the latest 5.0 series kernel. This lapbook needs this series for functionality regardless. However, no sound output. I had also performed a...

You too sir

I did install pavucontrol. Had it installed before beginning with your suggestions. Wasn't a lot to mess with in there for my default configuration. May be more though since the kernel upgrade. Not going to mess with it now ... too.tired LOL

OH ... and as to when the kernels were being optimized for ATOM powered tablets and lapbooks ... I thought the later 4.15 kernels were, since May or June or so LOL. That's why I didn't pin hope on the 5.0 series. Little did I know HA !!!

Thanks MrEen !!! I do know the bytcr-rt5651 file wasn't where it should be until the UCM clone and file movement. How much of the other stuff was needed, I just don't know of course. At least it did all came together and didn't end in a cluster. Whatever you suggested sure as heck didn't hinder it f...

Try this: 1. Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels Install the latest kernel of the 5.0 series . Then reboot. 2. Install pavucontrol, launch it and experiment a bit with its settings. Installed the latest 5.0 series kernel like Pjotr suggested (was running 4.15.0-62) and NOW SOUND IS WORKING...

Thank you for your valuable time and assistance. Much more than anyone could ask or hope for. Greatly appreciated. I need a break too. Been working on this for 11 hours now.

And I'm thinking the second is going to get the config dir fully repopulated.

Nope, still only the two files

No center channel wave. Tried it twice ... speaker and headset ... jim@Fusion5:~$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* [sudo] password for jim: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: jim 1549 F.... pulseaudio jim@Fusion5:~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/...

Nope, no ~/.pulse file
2 files have popped up on their own in the ~/.config/pulse foler ... a default-sink file and a default-source file

I've tried all this stuff earlier today and am exactly where I was with it. Just can't get it to work. I thought maybe your holding my hand might bring something new to the "game" but I've been there done that. Earlier I also ran a command that repopulated the .config/pulse folder ... can't remember...

Test the sound!!

No sound on either speakers or headset
Speaker icon in taskbar still grayed out
.config/pulse folder still empty

Deleted contents of .config/pulse in the home folder and ran the following command in a terminal ... jim@Fusion5:~$ pulseaudio --start N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {16fa2990e5014c52bbca62e8a9eb3558}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, which appears to be local. Probing deeper. jim@...

After posting the above terminal result, I powered down and back up. The file was written and is where it should be. The speaker icon in the system tray is back to being grayed out. Additionally, bytcr-rt5651 device is no longer listed in control panel > sound. The only device listed now is Built-in...

The command ran until a terminal prompt appeared again and it had completed. The result was just so large I had to break it down into 3 concurrent posts above
