It's possible that this applet had pulseaudio as a dependency, got
uninstalled when we removed pulseaudio.
Run
$ sudo apt install trisquel
to install the "trisquel"
I just realized that the volume button/slider which is usually next to the
network button on the bottom panel is missing. Most likely due to a change I
made in trying to fix the problem.
Any way to bring it back?
@Liberated, I'm glad everything's working now.
@Lil Beanie, If you are still having trouble with sound, can you try
$ rm -rf ~/.config/pulse
and see if the problem goes away as it did for Liberated?

The problem seems to have resolved itself after restarting the computer,
having deleted the folder a few reboots before that, however. Most likely had
something to do with that folder, as you said.
Thank you again for all of the help! I really appreciate it!
> Sound still does not work after deleting that folder.
Then the problem might be unrelated to pulseaudio. To confirm though,
can you run
$ sudo apt remove pulseaudio
reboot, and see if sound works (in vlc or something, not your browser).
Then reinstall pulseaudio with
$ sudo apt install
Sound still does not work after deleting that folder.

My bad. Thanks for the correction.
@Liberated
Remove the folder Magic Banana mentions with
$ rm -rf ~/.config/pulse
and then log out and back in again.

I forgot to mention that you'll need to reboot next. Have you already
done that?

That means that the problem is specific to your user's configuration. It
sounds like ALSA works, since you got sound when testing your speakers
in Sound settings. (I have since learned that a faster way to do this
would have been to run

Hm. If you log into a guest session do you have sound?

Performing those steps did not result in any sound.
I should add that when I start the computer and the login screen shows up,
the sound that is supposed to play still plays.

Okay, it sounds like everything is fine between ALSA and the sound card,
in which case the problem is higher-level than

I'm going to assume that "the problem" is that you have no sound. If the
problem is more specific than that then let me know. I'm also assuming
that you are using MATE, the default Trisquel desktop
Sound works fine on a Trisquel 8 Live USB.

Do you have a spare usb-drive to install live-setup.
So instead of formatting your main drive, you can check if the problem is
only with your os or kernel or not. If you don't mind, try with Trisquel 8
and Mini version, or with any other distro your comfortable with. (maybe even

@Lil Beanie
If I understand correctly, your sound problems happened after a regular
Trisquel 7 update, and that your problems upgrading to Trisquel 8 were a
separate issue. Can you confirm whether or not this is the case?

Hi I use both Trisquel 7 and Trisquel 8 and don't experience any problems
with sound. I even use those systems for realtime music production.
To help you with the issue you're facing we need more informations about it.

Do you mean sound? If so, can you describe the problem in more detail so
that we can troubleshoot? I just updated my Trisquel 8 system and sound
works fine, so I need to know more about your situation in order to
help.

Same problem here on Trisquel 8.
Did the upgrade process included a new version of the Linux kernel, even the
minor one? Try to boot using previous version of kernels using GRUB advanced
options.

Unfortunately, no. Trisquel 8 was not helpful. 7 is compatible with my

This doesn't appear to be the first time. But, it is the first time I caught
it in time to know where the issue occurred.. I really do not want to
overwrite my harddrive again because of some soft switch in the configuration
that has been reset...
Any ideas
