Sound not working

**radu-stochitoiu** · November 15th, 2015

After inserting my headphones the sound stopped working and I have tried everything on the internet but I couldn't fix it yet.
If you helped me, I'd be so grateful.

I know there are many other posts related to this, but nothing worked yet.

Thanks

rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/

logout then login

that should reset your sound config

Still not working. Thanks for trying though.

try this:

Code:

kill -9 pulseaudio; start-pulseaudio-x11

I used "rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/". It repaired itself after two or three reboots (and switching between Linux and Windows a few times).
Thanks a lot!

if it happens again give this a try
kill -9 pulseaudio;rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/
pulse audio should respawn when killed (at least it does here)
i would expect it to take at least enough time as deleting a few files to complete that process
