Hi Actually my sound is ok, but then I want to make sure that I get the latest version of pulseaudio, so I followed part A in this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 to get it, it seems ok till I get to step 5, which I got the connection error message: Connection failed: Connection refused, then I tried the Code:
$ pulseaudio & pavucontrol as suggested in the guide, but then I still got the same error message when opening the volume control, the whole log of my terminal sessions are as follow:
Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.Code:admin2@admin2-laptop:~$ mkdir ~/pulse-backup && cp -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* /etc/asound.conf /etc/pulse -t ~/pulse-backup/
