Re: [orca-list] No Audio In Ubuntu

I think I know why.  Look in /var/lock/ and see if alsastate.lock is in
there.  If so, erase it then run the alsactl store command again.  That
will make another lock file but with the correct parameters in it so you
keep sound.  As for pulseaudio, rm -fr ~/.config/pulseaudio then reboot
and that sometimes straightens pulseaudio out.
