[justme@ispy] ~$
I've been trying to fix this, although I really have no idea how. Before I realized how widespread the impact of the problem was, I started by deleting the VLC file in .config, which didn't work. Since then, I have tried quite a few things, but maybe not the right things. Anyway, the other night I decided to just re-install Linux Mint from my DVD copy, while preserving my /home partition. No change. I tried installing Linux Mint 19. Same problem. So, reinstalled Linux Mint 18.2 because I am not ready to jump to 19. My sound is foobarred, except for the one .MP4 video that I mentioned and my sound effects of my machine.
Does any of this ring any bells for anyone as to what is wrong? -Or what to do to figure this out? It seems to me that the problem has to either be burried in some kind of .config file in my /home directory or the vacuum cleaner maybe knocked something loose inside the machine....BUT if that were at all true, WHY DOES THAT VIDEO PLAY PERFECTLY??? -The one I mentioned that would never play sound at all before....
Here's some more data from my machine, and thanks for your kind help:
