Re: Some times no sound after login into Mate

I would have responded to this thread earlier if my computer hadn't died. A solution slint offers to those willing to use it is a console login choice. You can go to graphical using startx once orca-on is run and do what you need in a graphical environment having already logged in. In your case, if I had a console login in place I'd delete the entire pulseaudio directory under ~/.config and reboot the computer. It could be some of those files got too corrupted so won't run entirely correctly. With only a graphical login, I wouldn't try that at all since I have no backout and might turn the computer into a paperweight.

I'd tend to believe so.

Yes, it is.

Very strange. Pulseaudio really sucks :-(.
