upon restarting the pc this message pops up: The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.

You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu.

Go into System-->Preferences-->Sound and check your settings there

I prefer ALSA to Puleaudio. Go to

System--->Preferences--->Sound and select ALSA for your options over Automatic.

Everything is set to alsa, however i still get that same message i described in my second post..I will check symnaptic and see if I have everything for ALSA

[kansasnoob]

While you're in synaptic search for gstreamer. I install ALL gstreamer (good, bad and ugly). Everything beginning with gstreamer gets installed and I've never blown anything up ............ yet!

[sox fan Matt]

Ive installed all the gstreamer tools and will reboot

[sox fan Matt]

the same message from my 2nd post still appears even from a sudo-apt-get update, ticking all the gstreamer items ..I cant open up my volume control (that message from my 2nd post pops up)

[kansasnoob]

Check this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811180

There I'd listed what my Hardy has installed, partly by default, partly by choice.

[kansasnoob]

I should have mentioned this part in particular:

"So somehow my gstreamer properties were changed, or no long valid.

I opened up gstreamer-properties in the terminal, and messed with the settings: changed autodetect to alsa and now it works. Thanks for all your help guys"

[sox fan Matt]

im trying to reinstall all the linux kernels 2.6. something 19..to try and establish sound back

[sox fan Matt]

the suggestion i had solved nothing

[sox fan Matt]

Everything set to alsa in the gstreamer properties as per kansas noob as well

[sox fan Matt]

Im trying to figure out what i hosed to not be able to open my volume control..its frustrating cause im out of ideas..

[kansasnoob]

I may have already asked you this, but for fear of repeating myself, have you just tried clicking "reload" in synaptic and seeing if you have any "broken" packages?

Maybe run the command: sudo apt-get -f install

Just to try and resolve any unmet dependencies.

Otherwise I'm out of ideas.

Sorry:confused:

[sox fan Matt]

No broken packages..maybe in a new kernel release it will be fixed

[sox fan Matt]

I had to reboot into the old 18 kernel to regain sound...
