Turned out to be faulty hardware. Routed line out through a Monoprice composite to VGA adaptor (PlayStation II.) Box had died therefore distortion from one monitor only.

Fresh Samba configuration file for Mint Cinnamon 18.3 needed?!?

Went away for me with proprietary Nvdia driver.

-w switch kills sound when edit file wth Nano, at least with latest Pulse Audio update. So when 18.2 was upgraded, sound failed, or OTB with 18.3. Was this malicious? I don’t think so? Always Clonezilla peeps.
