Re: OT, Ubuntu Sound Trouble
Is pulseaudio not always running?
Here's where I'm at now.
I plugged in a USB soundcard, and in the terminal, I can play a wav file
with aplay.
But no GUI audio.
Orca should be running, but there is no sound.
speaker-test and aplay do work now in the terminal with the USB soundcard.
Is there a command that will list all sound devices and their states with
regard to volume and mute status?
Thanks

Was pulseaudio started before that script got run? If not, pactl has
nothing to control.
