I was trying to make a call on skype, and they couldn't hear me (
I
guess I need to plug in a microphone;-)
but in the process I ran the PA volume control, or tried to. It started,
brought up a window saying something like " trying to talk to sound
server, or connecting to sound server... I forget exactly", then the PA
volume control window disappeared, and I had no sound. Besides logging
out & back in, what can I do to bring back the sound?? how do you
restart pulseaudio??
As the desktop user, "pulseaudio -k;pulseaudio --start".
what are my options to get rid of Pulseaudio?? install alsa??
I don't think you should. This bug should be fixed soon.
