Doing the following makes sound work... however I have no control over the sound volumes per applications (except the overall sound using alsamixer - which is a pain): killall pulseaudio pulseaudio --kill alsa force-reload After doing those, sound works! So clearly there isn't any issues with alsa, problem seems to exist in pulseaudio somehow... yet it was working perfectly fine a few months ago. I recently downgraded to "1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21" because I thought "1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu21.1" was what caused the issues... but still no joy. Any ideas? Is there a way to be able to revert settings somehow (without having to reinstall the whole O/S)?
