It wasn't installed just now, no. It may have been installed previously and then removed. At least that's my understanding but I could be wrong since I understood K?Ubuntu uses ALSA for talking to the sound hardware and Pulse to sit above it as a sound server, so you'd think you'd have already had it installed. > If so, then I presume that prior to this everything was using the HDA > ATI SB system? Sorry, don't know. I guess you've tried switching the `preferred' to Alsa? > If so, then what is likely to happen if I uninstall PulseAudio? Well, things *may* not get worse. :-( I've never struggled with getting sound working too much, so I'm about out of ideas.
