Ubuntu 9.10 – fixing sound problem
Posted on Decembrie 17, 2009, under IT.
The main sound problem on Ubuntu 9.10 is caused by Pulse Audio sound server. Simply, type this command in terminal to remove PulseAudio and fix sound with ALSA and ESound :
sudo killall pulseaudio
cp /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio ~/
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install -y esound esound-clients esound-common libesd-alsa0
sudo reboot
If previous solution did not fix the sound yet, here is another one. Type in terminal:
1. Removing all files in ~/pulse directory:
rm -rf ~/.pulse
2. Adding your user to audio group:
sudo adduser your_username audio
(ex: sudo adduser neothebest audio)
3. Removing pulse cookies
sudo rm ~/.pulse-cookie
I hope this things will be useful for you.

@Disperatul: 95% din timpul petrecut la calculator este pe Ubuntu.
