Ubuntu 10.10 Sound Issue

Welcome,
In case you lost the sound of your Ubuntu 10.10 system because of abnormal shut-down, here are some tips to bring it back.

Option 1: Remove the .pulse files from the home directory and log out. It might resolve the problem when you re-login.

cd ~/

rm -rf .pulse*

Option 2: Go to Synaptic Package Manager, search for "alsa".
You will get many options, select "gnome-alsamixer" package for installation.

I tried both of these and I am listening a loud music now :)

Regards,
Yuga
