Hello - I just joined this mailing list. I live in Boston and am the author of several O'Reilly books about Linux & open source, including "Linux Pocket Guide" and "SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide." I am seeking help getting audio working on my Kubuntu 10.04 system. Ever since upgrading the system from a rather old version (7.10), audio has been broken, either not playing at all, or playing only in some programs but not others. Right now I have no sound at all. I posted full details in the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10438294 but never got any responses. Sometimes I can get sound by deleting ~/.pulse and ~/.pulse-cookie, logging out, and logging back in. But the solution doesn't last. Other times I run Amarok and, lo and behold, sound starts working everywhere. Temporarily. As a long-time Linux guy, I am frustrated and, frankly, embarrassed that I cannot get this working. I gratefully welcome any advice on getting audio working in: - General programs - Firefox plugins (e.g., YouTube videos) Thank you very much, Dan Barrett -- Dan Barrett dbarrett at blazemonger.com
