When you have Ubuntu 10.04, and you login as root, you cannot change the sound volume or settings with the sound applet in the gnome-panel. The solution: Go to System->Preferences -> Startup Applications Make sure you're in the tab 'Startup programs' -> Click on 'Add' Name: Pulseaudio daemon Command:/usr/bin/pulseaudio Comment: Start the sound daemon Now logout, then login again ->Fixed
In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates? Linux is like a wigwam.... no Gates, no Windows but Apache inside! http://www.debianadmin.com apt-get install libstdc++6-4.3-doc
Tip that is

thanks. this works for me nicely. its a great fix. thanks again. good luck
I have the problem everyone else does but it occurs when I am logged in as a normal user. Also, adding my user name to the groups pulse, pulse r-t etc. does not work! My problems do not end here. I cannot open pavucontrol. I looked in other threads and can't find a good fix for this. Help me, please!
thank you WitchCraft, it's really fixed.
Unfortunately, this method did not help me. What helped me was the following: 1. Go to 'Home' folder by clicking the 'Places' menu 2. press Ctrl + H to reveal hidden folders 3. delete the '.pulse' folder 4. restart Hope this helps someone
I had same problem in Ubuntu 10.10. Deleted the .pulse directory and restarted. Worked fine, thanks
I read this post and nothing will help me. No previous or present posts will help me get sound working. Headphones work great but the speakers absolutly refuse, seems, to work. PLEASE HELP!
