I hope some of you knowledgeable folks can help me. My friend has an old HP
Pavilion a1400e desktop currently running Windows XP. Since his main tasks
with this PC are surfing the web, email and watching music videos, I burned a
CD of Trisquel 6.0 and booted the CD so he may try it out. Everything needed
seems to work except for audio. Here is a command line capture of what i
tried to test it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
trisquel@trisquel:~$ pulseaudio --kill
